A fund registered with the Securities Exchange Commission, Booth-Laird attempts to beat the market cumulatively over time by focusing on securities that are misunderstood, obscure, or mispriced due to uncertainty or fear, performing significant due diligence to overcome those hurdles; and buying at a large discount to their internally develop valuation. Jonathan Booth, CEO and Fund Manager, is a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), having passed all required exams for those credentials on his first attempt. The CFA designation is the preeminent certification for a professional in the investment industry. He also passed the Accredited in Business Valuation (ABV) exam offered by the AICPA. He worked for three years as an auditor with Ernst & Young, LLP and KPMG, LLP, two of the four largest accounting firms in the world.
