David Samra has been in the investment business for over 30years. He specialises in international value and has beaten his index by over 4% pa for over 20 years, in a period when traditional value has been doing poorly.

That may be why his fund, which has been closed to new investors for most of the last 14 years, has reached $50bn. In this conversation David explains his focus on four factors: owning good companies, buying them at a discount of at least 30% to intrinsic value, and ensuring they have excellent management and a strong balance sheet.

And he discusses several of his stocks, sharing some impressively detailed knowledge.
