In the third episode in our Meet the Managers series, Scott Spencer, a partner within the Columbia Threadneedle Multi Manager Team interviews Vera German, one of the fund managers in the Value Team at Schroders. Scott has over twenty years of experience in researching funds. Before joining Columbia Threadneedle, he did turns at Aberdeen and Credit Suisse. Scott manages the deal activity of the funds in addition to his broader fund selection role. He leads the sector research teams for the US, Asia and Emerging Markets and is also a member of the Specialist Investment Team. Vera joined Schroders in 2018 from Baillie Gifford. That is where the interview starts as Baillie Gifford is one of the best known Growth shops in the UK, and for Vera to join the Value Team is exemplary of what is sometimes quoted as Warren Buffett’s line, that you’re not made into a Value investor, you’re born a Value investor. Scott and Vera discuss: Vera’s journey to becoming a Value investor; how literature and legendary Value investors have influenced her and shaped her investment style; international value investing and a focus on emerging markets; and how she thinks of macro in the context of Value investing. Enjoy!
