What are your favourite books to recommend?

I love to learn about different cultures and ways of life.  “A Fine Balance” by Rohinton Mistry is one of my all-time favourites.

What is your favourite place in the world?

Rome is my favourite city in the world. The blend of history, culture and cuisine is extraordinary.

What is your own investment philosophy?

My own investment philosophy is to set a plan and stick to it. I would also add that when high-quality securities become inexpensive – take advantage of that and do not be afraid of short-term volatility.
