On 7 February, the Southern African Actuarial ConneXion group, SAAX, held an investment-focused evening at Orbis's office in Marylebone. The spirited discussion helped fend off the cold outside as we were bitterly reminded winter was still in full swing in London. We were joined by Bradley Shearer, executive director of Protagion, and Ben Preston, equity analyst at Orbis Investments, who leads the global sector investment team. Shearer, both an actuary and a chartered financial analyst, spoke about the concepts of searching for value and rewarding success, using analogies to explore the concept of 'intrinsic value' when selecting stocks. Preston walked us through using different ratios to review when making a decision between different investments. He also gave his view on Tesla vs Honda as an investment decision.
