On the Hunt for Great Companies

"Simon Kold is a clear and rational thinker in the mold of Charlie Munger. And he has a clear grasp of the many fallacies of thinking that are rife in the investment world. Armed with these, he dives deep into the critical factors that define business quality. Unlike my book - which addresses the inner game of investing, Kold's book carefully examines all the factors that contribute to business quality. Any reader will come away with a better set of mental frameworks to use in searching for and evaluating business quality.
Kold's book is a must read for all serious investors and will certainly take its place alongside other greats - especially other practically oriented books - like the Outsiders by Thorndike and Margin of Safety by Seth Klarman."
—Guy Spier, author of The Education of a Value Investor

­“Kold provides an excellent framework to help investors navigate the treacherous path toward investment success. This book will help both sophisticated professional investors and beginners achieve their investment objectives.”
—Brian C. Rogers, Retired Chairman and CIO of T. Rowe Price

“Long-term fundamental value investing in high quality companies is the best way to generate consistent returns. Simon Kold has the track record to shed light on the key elements of this strategy.”
—Kasim Kutay, CEO of Novo Holdings

"Having personally worked with Simon Kold, I can attest to his investment acumen and the analytical rigor displayed in this sophisticated yet entertaining investment book."
—Bjarne Graven Larsen, Founder of Qblue Balanced and former CIO of ATP and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan

 “I’ve read (and written) my fair share of dry, technical tomes on finance. ‘On the Hunt for Great Companies’ is an inspiring, very practical and wonderful written book on identifying ‘alpha return’ companies.”
—Thomas Plenborg, Professor at Copenhagen Business School & Chairman of DSV

 "On the Hunt for Great Companies is not only a thoughprovoking and refreshing take on the arduous journey of the true value investor, it is a reflection of what I have seen Simon Kold practice throughout the years I’ve known him."
—Salah Saabneh, Partner at Manikay Partners and former Chairman of Tel Aviv Stock Exchange
