Part of the Allan Gray investment philosophy is, in their own words, to “resist trends and uncover opportunities in areas where nobody else is looking, which puts us in a space where we face little competition, where an investor’s greatest assets are patience and independent thinking.”

He also makes the case for an ASX50 energy stock that is a key position for the fund.
