The Acquirer's Multiple is a proven contrarian investment strategy that's particularly well-suited to long-term investors. By taking an organized, disciplined, and unemotional approach to investing, the method helps identify deeply undervalued stocks that can be held for one year to see a regression to the mean.

In his book, "The Acquirer's Multiple: How the Billionaire Contrarians of Deep Value Beat the Market," Tobias Carlisle describes this powerful investment method. With a track record of success, the strategy would have delivered an average annual return of 18.6% between 1973 and 2017, compared to just 10.2% per year for the S&P500.Check out the book to learn more.
