Mr. Graham distilled the secret of sound invest- ment in three words: ‘Margin of Safety’. This sim- ple concept has become the cornerstone of the KIG’s ® investment philosophy. While we strive to maximize return, we believe that the primary and overriding investment criterion should be safety of principal with a focus on minimizing permanent loss of capital. 115 South LaSalle Street, 27th Floor, Chicago IL 60603 Phone: 312.334.7300 Fax: 312.334.7308 Web: http://kovitz.com Landry Investment Management was founded in 2002 by veteran investment manager Jean-Luc Landry.
