"I am a big Warren Buffet fan and, learned a great deal from him on the principles behind Value Investing. This investing style focuses on buying undervalued stocks. This approach takes a great deal of research; however, research is one of my strongest suits as a portfolio manager. It often is a waiting game when it comes to the rising prices, so Value Investing also requires a lot of patience, which I refer to as 'buy and hold.' This investment style is not for everyone, but the payoffs can be excellent if the investor is patient."

"Peter Lynch is someone in the investment industry that I admire. He introduced me to the art of Growth Investing; a strategy focused on capital appreciation. First, I seek out companies that show above-average growth through revenues and profits. Even if the share price doesn't seem low, or like 'a deal,' I believe that it's worth a look. I understand that Growth Investing is riskier, and not for everyone; however, it can pay off well when we look at companies within emerging markets."
