About the report

This white paper explores the eternal rules of equity investing that seem more important now than ever. These truths have stood the test of time, centuries in some cases, and we expect them to endure.

Key highlights

  • Some illiquidity is a good thing Since the earliest days of equity investing, investors who invest with a long horizon earn the best returns. Long-term investors enjoy the benefits of compounding capital and the curved-nonlinear nature of their returns.
  • Beware the wisdom of crowds Public stocks play an important role in a diversified portfolio. But we question the wisdom of crowds that can often take a mob-like approach to pricing in the stock market.
  • Know what you are buying Equity is a claim on a company’s profits. It sounds painfully obvious, but in the market defined by liquidity and not fundamentals there is more and more confusion about what equity investments are really worth.
