On the Hunt for Great Companies

"Simon Kold is a clear and rational thinker in the mold of Charlie Munger. And he has a clear grasp of the many fallacies of thinking that are rife in the investment world. Armed with these, he dives deep into the critical factors that define business quality. Unlike my book - which addresses the inner game of investing, Kold's book carefully examines all the factors that contribute to business quality. Any reader will come away with a better set of mental frameworks to use in searching for and evaluating business quality. Kold's book is a must-read for all serious investors and will certainly take its place alongside other greats - especially other practically oriented books - like the Outsiders by Thorndike and Margin of Safety by Seth Klarman."

"Kold provides an excellent framework to help investors navigate the treacherous path toward investment success. This book will help both sophisticated professional investors and beginners achieve their investment objectives."

"Long-term fundamental value investing in high-quality companies is the best way to generate consistent returns. Simon Kold has the track record to shed light on the key elements of this strategy."

"Having personally worked with Simon Kold, I can attest to his investment acumen and the analytical rigor displayed in this sophisticated yet entertaining investment book."

"I’ve read (and written) my fair share of dry, technical tomes on finance. On the Hunt for Great Companies is an inspiring, very practical, and wonderfully written book on identifying 'alpha return' companies."
