Walter J. Schloss was a disciple of the Benjamin Graham. He didn't attend college. At 18, he was hired as a runner on Wall Street. Schloss believed in buying undervalued companies with sound fundamentals. He held onto them until they became overvalued. He used the price-to-book metric to spot bargains and picked companies available below their book values. He also checked if the management owned a lot of the company.
In 1955, Schloss started his own fund, which he managed until 2000.
