Peter Gellman is the Managing Member of Palmerston Group Advisors, L.L.C. Founded in 1997, Palmerston Group provides independent, unbiased financial and investment advisory services based on fundamental analysis and margin of safety principles. Peter Gellman has worked as a teacher, analyst, and advisor. Before starting Palmerston, he taught at Oxford as a member of its international relations faculty, as well as at Princeton, where he was Research Fellow and Lecturer in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. He holds a law degree as well as a Ph.D. in international relations.
Palmerston Group Advisors, a firm best known for its Margin of Safety discipline, built its strategy only after carefully studying the best in the business. Consider: 1. Few fund managers have genuinely market-beating records of ten or more years. 2. Most of this elite group uses a version of Margin of Safety, the skill of buying assets when "on sale" at a deep discount to their true value. Most excel in bear markets. 3. Few advisors strategically focus on these top managers or their investment ideas when creating client portfolios. Nor do many independent firms focus on these managers when offering allocation advice. In contrast, Palmerston sees these top managers as a huge asset for our clients. We start with what works best, and thus use Margin of Safety for all clients. For client portfolios, we use the ideas and often the (no-load) funds of managers with proven, profitable records.
