Investment Philosophy

Scharf Investments applies a consistent, bottom-up value approach across all strategies. The team seeks to identify high-quality companies trading at meaningful discounts to intrinsic value, with strong earnings visibility and long-term growth potential. Portfolios are concentrated — typically 25 to 35 holdings — to reflect only the highest-conviction ideas. The focus is on businesses offering a clear margin of safety, supported by robust fundamentals and disciplined valuation.
