How Ranmore stays among world’s top funds - and delivered 38% in past year

Every day, Ranmore Fund Management’s founder and chief investment officer Sean Peche uses what he learned during many years at the proverbial knee of SA’s greatest money manager, the late Dr Simon Marais. Those lessons include applying a tried and tested process of uncovering value - and working hard to avoid sectoral disasters. The result has been Ranmore’s consistent outperformance over the past decade and a half, catapulting its fund into the world’s top 1% performers. Now comes the best possible kind of recognition from SA peer Piet Viljoen, who is entrusting his firm’s $27m global value fund to Peche’s management. Peche spoke to BizNews editor Alec Hogg.
