AVI - www.assetvalueinvestors.com
AVI is an investment management company established in London in 1985. AVI manages AVI Global Trust plc, AVI Japan Opportunity Trust plc and MIGO Opportunities Trust plc, all investment companies whose shares are listed and traded on the main market of the London Stock Exchange. AVI manages £2.1 billion* across all its products. AVI's investment philosophy is grounded in the belief that capital markets frequently misprice complexity, particularly in markets where corporate governance is opaque, asset transparency is low, or conglomerate structures obscure underlying value. We identify these inefficiencies through a research-intensive process that specialises in discovering companies trading at material discounts to intrinsic value, with a focus on active engagement to unlock and grow that value.
