Algy Hall from Citiwire talks with Portfolio Manager Fred Stanske about lessons learned in recent years
"…while the strategy ignores growth rates, it gets to the heart of what matters about successful growth investing. If a company is growing fast but the growth is correctly forecast, it is highly likely to be priced in (behavioral finance practitioners would expect it to be more than priced in). It is only unexpected growth that makes successful growth strategies work."
