Tom Gayner Investing Philosophy
Gayner outlined in Markel's 2019 Letter to Shareholders a four-part discipline:
First, Markel looks for businesses earning good rates of return that use only modest leverage to do so.
Second, the firm looks for management teams with equal measure of talent and integrity.
Third, Markel looks for businesses with opportunities to reinvest its capital and grow organically or by acquisition, and/or with capital discipline to repurchase shares or pay dividends.
And fourth, the firm looks to acquire these holdings at fair prices: The long term returns should be similar to the underlying growth in intrinsic value of the company itself.
