According to an op-ed in The Chronicle Journal, Desautels alumnus Peter Cundill (BCom’60) was an investor’s investor. He was inspired by Benjamin Graham’s investment philosophy, and used it to become extremely successful. He eschewed market trends in favour of weighing a company’s stock value against its liquidation value; he would check out the country with the worst-performing market of any given year, then place some money there against future recoveries; he was a true value investor, with the patience required to play the long game and make a killing at it. In 2001, he was given the Analysts’ Choice Career Achievement Award. Mr. Cundill died in 2011 of Fragile X Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome.
