Welcome to Andrew Mach - Stock Journal
As I already mentioned in my Tweet, I started a closed-end private fund on 21/12/2024 for a small group of friends. This Substack is where I'll be sharing detailed write-ups on my positions, thoughts on portfolio management, insights into potential investments on my watchlist, and financial strategies beyond equities.
Quickly About Me & My Investing Style
I am a former mechanical engineer who discovered a passion for value investing nearly a decade ago. Eventually, I decided to leave engineering behind to fully dedicate myself to investing. My strategy prioritizes risk management first, seeking deep value and special situations while maintaining a well-diversified portfolio. I am comfortable using moderate leverage when I believe it enhances risk-adjusted returns.
I follow stocks across all global markets, leveraging my experience from seven years of living in China. My research process focuses on undervalued companies, overlooked opportunities, and stocks with strong catalysts. Whether it's net-net stocks in Japan, deep-value plays in Europe, or special situations in emerging markets, my goal is to find mispriced assets with significant upside potential.
Beyond equities, I am also actively involved in real estate investing, including my current project of building an investment villa on Koh Samui.
What You Can Expect
Write-ups about all my portfolio positions – why I own them, what I expect, and my future moves.
Deep dives into most of my position - with a deep knowledge about valuing companies, I enjoy building valuation models with well-reasoned assumptions.
Updates on my watchlist - I am considering stocks but haven’t pulled the trigger yet.
Market insights and investment strategies – my approach to stock picking and risk management.
My portfolio decisions – why I am buying or selling something.
Full transparency with my own money – such as real estate investments, including my current project of building an investment villa on Koh Samui.
To repeat from my Tweet, here is the full portfolio of the Fund I manage and the stocks that I will be writing about first.
