The Model

Richard H. Lawrence, Jr. founded Overlook Investments in Hong Kong in 1991. Since inception, Overlook has grown at 14.3% per year for three decades - a remarkable record of growth that is testament to a consistent ability to find and invest in Asia's best companies. This raises two important questions: How did Overlook achieve its success; and how can Overlook best ensure future success? Now, in a level of detail never before disclosed, Richard and the Overlook executive team turn the lens inward to analyse the Overlook Model. They describe the philosophies, practices, and people that drive Overlook's outperformance. This analysis of investment theory - how an investment management company should be run - illustrates how Overlook is able to say with confidence that it can nearly guarantee delivery of outperformance to its investors.
