Value Investing

Vladimir Dimitrov, CFA

I am a former strategy consultant with heavy exposure to business and intangible assets valuation. Throughout my career I have been focused on solving complex business problems through the lens of the overall business strategy and by incorporating a set of valuation and financial modelling techniques.

In my spare time I have been exploring the concept of value investing and in particular finding companies with sustainable competitive advantages that also trade below their intrinsic value. In addition to my bottom-up approach of individual equities I also take a more holistic view of the markets through factor investing techniques.
