Heroes, hard work and integrity – Walter Aylett’s formula for long-term success - BNIC#2

Loading player...
At BizNews Investment Conference #2 in Hermanus, Walter Aylett – founding fund manager of Aylett & Co – delivered an inspiring reflection on the power of heroes and principles in life and investing. Drawing on decades of annual pilgrimages to Omaha to learn from Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, Aylett shared how integrity, energy and rational common sense built a $1.3bn fund over 20 years. He credited his success not only to mentors like Buffett and Munger but also to the partners and clients who shared his long-term vision. Looking ahead to “Aylett 2.0 and 3.0,” he said the next generation, armed with principles and hard work, could make South Africa “unstoppable.”
