Stonetrust owner Francis Chou was recently featured in The Globe and Mail, sharing his insights on market trends and his investment strategy. Known for his award-winning approach to investing, Chou has built a reputation for navigating volatile financial markets with discipline and foresight.
In the interview, Chou discusses his views on bonds versus equities, explaining how investors can balance risk and return even during periods of economic uncertainty. He emphasizes the importance of holding a security’s intrinsic value and having a strong conviction during market fluctuations. “Every five to 10 years you will go through a period where stocks that are overvalued will still go up and become more overvalued, whereas stocks that are undervalued go down in price and become more undervalued,” he says.
Chou also highlights his recent investment successes, including taking advantage of undervalued opportunities during the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, he invested in Athabasca Oil Corp. when prices were low and saw the fund quadruple its returns. In his equity-based RRSP fund, he invested in Resolute Forest Products Inc. at a significant discount, which later became highly profitable.
He notes that while many securities may have soared recently, their valuation often exceeded intrinsic worth. Chou prefers to focus on undervalued bonds and equities, patiently waiting for the right opportunity to invest, even if it means holding large cash positions until bargains appear. His strategy demonstrates the importance of discipline, patience, and avoiding the temptation to chase overvalued stocks.
