Barron’s recently sat down with Kevin Holt, co-manager of the Invesco Comstock Fund, for a conversation on lessons in value investing he’s learned from more than 25 years of managing the fund.

Key takeaways:

  • Applying classic value-investing techniques, the Invesco Comstock Fund management team focuses on identifying a company’s normalized profitability and cash flows. This can involve a 20-year deep dive into the background of the company and its industry.
  • The team believes that owning companies that are overly acquisitive, lack strong management teams, or don’t have properly aligned management incentives can significantly hinder a fund’s performance.
  • Holt describes where the team is currently finding opportunities among the energy, banking, and healthcare industries.
