While the podcast interview is scheduled to be recorded in the next couple of weeks, we would like to give our readers the opportunity to hear their responses to your questions. Please submit your investing-related inquiries in the comments below.
Founded in 1983, the New York-based firm has a contrarian investment style. In an effort to exploit the inefficiencies of an efficient market, Robotti & Co. invests in smaller, under-followed publicly traded companies that are trading at a discount to their intrinsic value.
Prior to founding the firm, Robotti was a vice president and shareholder of Gabelli & Company Inc. Some of his areas of interest are special situations, energy and home building. He also serves on the boards of directors for real estate company AMREP Corp. (NYSE:AXR) and Tidewater Inc. (NYSE:TDW), which owns a fleet of offshore support vessels.
Van der Meer has been with the firm since 2012, focusing on small-cap and mid-cap equities as well as special situations.
As of the end of the third quarter, GuruFocus portfolio data shows Robotti's largest holdings are Tidewater, Builders FirstSource Inc. (NYSE:BLDR), LSB Industries Inc. (NYSE:LXU), Westlake Corp. (NYSE:WLK) and West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. (NYSE:WFG).
