Whether it’s the Greek debt crisis or dysfunctional politics in Washington, investors have plenty of serious macro risks to worry about. A combination of extreme pessimism, risk aversion and shortterm thinking creates a toxic brew for stockpickers like us. But we are – and always will be – price takers. Our job is to sift through stocks that the market spits out at times like this. Although we hardly enjoy sharp stockmarket downdrafts like the ones experienced recently, we are happy to pick up shares like Google at a compelling discount to what we believe they are worth. For Members seeking to take advantage of our stockpicking expertise while reducing the risk inherent in owning equities, Optimal is a natural complement to our Equity Funds. By design, the Orbis Fund Family allows us to remain focused primarily on stockpicking while enabling Members to choose the level of risk that is appropriate for them.
