My guest on the show today is Iggy, better known as Iggy on Investing, a deep value investor and blogger. In this episode, Iggy shares how the COVID-19 lockdown gave him the time to dive into investing, turning inspiration from Buffett and Graham into a disciplined deep value strategy focused on small, illiquid companies trading at substantial discounts to book value.

We discuss his “Young Buffett”–style approach—seeking firms at 0.3× to 0.5× book with strong ROIC and catalysts, especially in overlooked European markets—as well as the role his blog plays in clarifying his thinking, building conviction, and holding through long, boring periods.

Iggy also walks us through hard-learned lessons—from the importance of staying within your circle of competence and scrutinizing corporate governance, to navigating shareholder activism via a “stag hunt” scenario. And he shares how he’s building investor community in Europe, including hosting his 2nd Annual Benelux Investor Event on Saturday, September 27.
