Welcome to del Rey

del Rey Global Investors, LLC focuses on providing our clients outstanding long-term performance in international and global equities investing and best-in-class service to a diverse client base.

Established in a time of unprecedented global market upheaval and industry cynicism, the firm takes the lessons of the recent past and dedicates itself to the constant application of sound, stable investment practices and high ethical standards.

Driven by the investment talents of Paul Hechmer, the firm offers his unique style of international equity and global equity value-oriented investing – a style he has applied successfully for over 10 years for his mutual fund, institutional separate account and separately managed account clients. The firm services those clients emphasizing the principles that made Paul a noted investment manager: long-term investment horizon, rigorous price discipline, individual security selection grounded by the relationship of fundamentals to valuation, integrated risk controls and effective portfolio diversification.

del Rey seeks to be a superlative advisory firm that as an investment partner, will offer the skills, experience and insight necessary to help its clients achieve their investment goals.

Investment Philosophy

Philosophy	del Rey believes that markets are not always efficient. In most market environments it is possible to find companies selling for less than their intrinsic value. We believe that by investing in high-quality, undervalued companies, we can create value for our clients and outperform the markets.
Objectives	We seek to provide our clients with a return that fairly compensates them for the risk of investing in equities. While our return objective is absolute in nature, we believe our investment process will allow us to outperform the benchmark index over a cycle. We seek to protect wealth first and create it thereafter.
Process	We employ a research-driven, bottom-up approach to security selection and portfolio construction. Companies are bought based on weighing their qualitative attractiveness versus the price that must be paid to obtain them. Identify strong franchises that should be able to create value for shareholders under reasonable economic assumptions Invest in companies when they are attractively priced Build portfolios one stock at a time and seek to control risk by remaining well diversified
Consistency	del Rey’s investment team is experienced, having successfully managed money through both bull and bear markets.
