His investment strategy seeks globally leading companies whose brands permit them the capacity to develop market shares in the parts of the world that are undergoing economic growth and increasing political stability.

Jonathan Boyar is President of Boyar Intrinsic Value Research, an independent research boutique established in 1975 that counts some of the world's largest sovereign wealth funds, hedge funds, mutual funds and family offices as subscribers. He is also a Principal of the Investment Manager, which has been managing money utilizing a value-oriented strategy since 1983. 

Mark Boyar began publishing independent equity research on intrinsically undervalued companies in 1975. This led to the establishment of Boyar Asset Management, a Registered Investment Advisor, in 1983. True to Mark's vision, Boyar Asset Management specializes in investing in the equity securities of intrinsically undervalued companies. We define intrinsic value as the amount that would be paid to stockholders if a business were liquidated or sold. Boyar Asset Management evaluates a corporation in the same manner as a private equity buyer would. 

Our analysis of financial statements is driven by economic reality, not generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). We believe that if we purchase assets at significant discounts to their intrinsic or private market value, over a reasonable period of time the stock market will either reflect the true higher value of those assets or our clients may profit when the assets are acquired by a third party.
