Fundamentals of investing: Embracing simplicity

In an era when too much information arrives at breakneck speed, simplicity has value. That’s one lesson Andrew Suzman, equity portfolio manager and chair of Capital Research and Management Company, shares from a more than 30-year career as he sits down with Mike Gitlin for a discussion on the fundamentals of investing. Suzman explains how country of domicile may be obscuring the potential of great companies, how investors ignore valuation at their peril and why he still brings a calculator to meetings with management. If you’re looking for ways to recognize value in the present rather than some far-off future, this episode is for you. #CapGroupGlobal
