Thanks for your article, its interesting for me to hear this view as I come from a typical concentrated, high conviction philosophy.

I wouldn't say that I am convinced that diversification is the way forward. I strongly believe in investing in your top 5/10 ideas (risk-rated), rather than trying to invest in 100 companies and beat the index slightly on average. Perhaps I am wrong, but I am curious about your perspective when you weigh the 2 strategies, because if I would want to diversify and protect my downside, wouldn't you just buy the index?

Thanks for this write up, Michael. I learnt a lot about Gayner's philosophy.

It's interesting to see several superinvestors add to their MKL positions this year.
