Invest with Avenir Capital

In light of the recent dramatic moves in global equity markets, we are busy looking for opportunities to put our capital to work and invite you to make an investment or top-up an existing investment with Avenir.

While it may seem counterintuitive to seek additional funds to invest in declining markets, as Buffett has said many times: “Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy when others are fearful.” This is simple in concept but hard to put into practice. That is why we are here to do it on your behalf – let us do the sweating for you.

We have new investors coming on board 1^st September and, with a little less than a week to go until then, now might be a good time for those who have been considering an investment to take action.

There is no perfect time to invest and plenty of reasons not to invest at any point in time. Markets have run up and I have missed it. Markets are declining and I don’t know where the bottom is. But, with the ASX All Ordinaries down 16% from its highs, the Dow Jones down over 13% and the S&P 500 down 10% over the last 5 trading days alone, now presents an opportune time to act.

As observed in the Wall Street Journal today, the great speculator Bernard Baruch had a name for what sort of person manages to buy at the bottom and sell at the top of the market: a liar. We are going to go about putting funds to work prudently, patiently and selectively in compelling opportunities for long-term bargain hunting. While we have a cash balance, we have deployed some of this cash reserve and are keen to retain some ammunition for future opportunities.

Should you wish to take advantage of the current market weakness to commence or add to a long-term investment program, we recommend acting this week as we approach the 1^st September dealing date for investment in the Avenir Value Fund.
