Alphyn Capital Management Samer Hakoura | “Fairfax has developed a more stable earnings stream that is less vulnerable to underwriting cycles than its peers. Management's outstanding capital allocation track record is evident through opportunistic buybacks and counter-cyclical asset purchases. This disciplined approach continues to drive strong growth in book value per share.” | BULL | Q3 2025 Oct 1, 2025 | View Pitch |
Springview Capital Management Guy Baron | “Fairfax Financial was the fund's top contributor in 2023, driven by record underwriting profits and doubling investment income from astute float management. The manager strongly dismisses a recent short-seller report as misleading, emphasizing the firm's safety, strong management, and highly attractive valuation of roughly 7x estimated mid-term earnings.” | BULL | Q4 2023 Feb 21, 2024 | View Pitch |
