OVER 100 YEARS OF SERVICE TO VALUE INVESTORS

Founded in 1920, Tweedy, Browne is principally engaged in the management of global, international and US/ADR value equity portfolios for institutional and individual clients. As an investment adviser focused on value investing, we use an intensive research and valuation process to identify companies trading at discounts from our estimates of their intrinsic values, with the potential for producing returns that, in our view, are more than commensurate with the risks assumed.

A VALUE-DRIVEN APPROACH TO EQUITY INVESTMENT THAT IS:

PREDICATED on Ben Graham’s big idea that there are two prices for every share of stock — the price that we see on the exchange on any given day, and the other price — the price that would accrue to the investor if the company were sold in its entirety in an arm’s length negotiated transaction between a knowledgeable seller and buyer. To Graham and to us, the essence of investing is to exploit discrepancies between these two prices.

BUILT on value oriented investment methodologies first pioneered by Benjamin Graham, Warren Buffett, Charles Munger, and Walter Schloss, with whom the firm was associated in various capacities at times during its long history.

GROUNDED in fundamental security analysis which generally includes, among other things, a thorough analysis of a company’s financial statements, a study of prices paid in comparable corporate mergers, acquisitions, and liquidations, direct communication with the company and/or competitors, an examination of recent purchases and sales by corporate insiders, and a review of research.

MANAGED by a 7-member Investment Committee. Tweedy’s dedicated 11-member investment team → consists of talented individuals who have been with our Firm for tenures ranging from 8 to 50 years. These 11 individuals have spent a combined 300 years at our Firm for an average of 27 years of service. They represent several nationalities and have a facility for ten languages, including Japanese and Mandarin. With one of our retired principals, current employees of Tweedy, Browne and their immediate family members, they have over $1.6 billion invested in value-oriented portfolios, including substantial investments in many of our pooled investment vehicles.

UNCOMPROMISING STEWARDSHIP — THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

We stand at the crossroads, each minute, each hour, each day, making choices. We choose the thoughts we allow ourselves to think, the passions we allow ourselves to feel, and the actions we allow ourselves to perform. Each choice is made in the context of whatever value system we have selected to govern our lives. In selecting that value system, we are, in a very real way, making the most important choice we will ever make.

–  Benjamin Franklin, The Art of Virtue
