How to apply the value investing model to today's high-growth Asian companies

This revised edition of Value Investing in Growth Companies serves as a step-by-step guide that lets investors combine the value investing and growth investing models to find excellent investment opportunities in emerging Asian companies. Though these two investing styles are very different, the authors' proprietary "jigsaw puzzle" model integrates them into a holistic investing approach that will help readers enjoy the kind of extraordinary results that investors like Warren Buffett or Peter Lynch built their fortunes on. This model focuses on four vital criteria that, when combined, pinpoint excellent companies in which to invest. Those criteria are: simple business models, quality management, healthy financial numbers, and accurate valuation. This book shows investors how to find growth companies in Asia that combine these four criteria for nearly surefire profits.

Offers a sensible and stress-free investing strategy that is ideal for anyone looking for investment opportunities in fast-growing Asian countries
This revised edition includes new case studies focused specifically on Asian companies and their unique characteristics
Perfect for investors who want to focus on high-growth, small-cap companies that offer excellent potential returns

From the Inside Flap:

If you're looking for a surefire, get-rich-quick stock trading scheme, this book is not for you.

If you're in the market for magic algorithms, bullet-proof charting techniques, automated trading systems or other financial gimmickry designed to separate you from your hard-earned money, look elsewhere, because you won't find any of that here.

Here's what you will find in this book: A low-stress approach to building up a fortune steadily, over an extended period of time. It's an approach to investing intelligently and methodically, using similar techniques to those utilized by the world's most successful investor, Warren Buffett.

Buffett has used this approach to amass a fortune in excess of $46 billion, making him the third-richest man on the planet. But if you're like most people, you don't want to become the next Warren Buffett. You'd be happy to quietly make millions in your spare time.

And that's exactly what authors Rusmin Ang and Victor Chng offer you an opportunity to do. They introduce you to a unique value/growth investing strategy based on their proprietary Jigsaw Puzzle approach—an approach that lets you identify the best investment prospects and build up a solid portfolio of high-yield growth stocks that will increase steadily from year to year.

You'll assemble a highly accurate picture of a company before deciding whether or not to invest in it; you'll drill deep into the heart of a business to uncover stellar growth potential; and you'll know when and how to buy into high-growth, small-cap companies at pennies on the dollar for market-beating compound returns.

Writing in plain, jargon-free English—with a generous dose of humor—the authors walk you, step by-step, through the value investing basics. Then, with the help of real-world examples and five, full-length case studies focusing on Asian markets, they fill you in on how to:

Develop good value investing habits and financial discipline
Analyze a company's business model and its management structure
Make sense of its financial statements and get a clear picture of its financial health
Accurately calculate a company's future earnings potential
Decide whether to buy or sell a stock
Screen a stock that could become the next big money-maker
Manage risk and maximize returns in a growth stock investment portfolio

Based on the authors' philosophy that "Anyone with a nine-to-five job and the diligent application of value investing can retire with millions," Value Investing in Growth Companies is your ticket to the wealth and financial independence you want and deserve.
