Tim du Toit

I was born in South Africa in 1967. Since 1986 I have been active in investing and experimenting with various investment strategies.

Through studying the results of long term investment studies I have come to the conclusion that a cheap (also known as value) and contrarian investing approach is the most profitable. I continue to study and expand my knowledge of these two investment approaches.

I am employed in the banking and fund management industry. I write for EuroShareLab in my personal capacity with approval of my employer. The views expressed are not necessarily those of my employer and I have taken organisational precautions in accordance with statutory and supervisory regulations to prevent a conflict of interest regarding my writings. My employer has full access to all my analyses.

I hold a Bachelor of Commerce (cum laude) and Honours degree in financial management from the University of Pretoria in South Africa. My MBA (Finance) degree was completed at Indiana University in the USA in 1995 where I graduated in the top ten percent of the class.

Currently I live in Hamburg one of the most beautiful cities in Germany.
