Seth Klarman Profile

Seth Klarman Investing Philosophy

Seth Klarman invests in a wide array of investments, ranging from fairly traditional value stocks to more esoteric investments like distressed debt, liquidations and foreign equities or bonds. Klarman doesn't mind "doing nothing" on occasion. He is completely unperturbed by the idea of sitting on the sidelines holding cash whenever investment opportunities are scarce. Investing, he cautions, is more than just producing absolute returns. Too often investors focus on that one easy number "return" and ignore the risks incurred to generate that number.
