Mason Hawkins' Southeastern Asset Management's Value Philosophy Explained
Sep 18, 2026
The Acquirers Podcast discusses Southeastern Asset Management's value investing philosophy, emphasizing long-term, concentrated, and actively engaged portfolios. They highlight their focus on businesses, people, and price, using discounted cash flow methods. A key example is Rayonier, a timberland company, which they believe is trading at a significant discount to its actual land value, despite its strong fundamentals and recent merger with another portfolio company, PotlatchDeltic.
