Hidden Value Gems Unique Investment Approach

Low Leverage: minimal use of financial leverage (preferably a net cash position) which adds long-term resilience at the expense of short-term results
Insider Ownership: management with ‘skin in the game’, strong alignment of interests between all the key stakeholders, preferably founder-led businesses, strong track record of value-accretive capital allocation
Attractive Valuation: companies that are trading below their fair values as the market fails to appreciate the full potential of those businesses
Business Quality: a great product (unique and hard to replace), that offers critical value to customers, with limited competition and a loyal customer base
Financial Performance: above-average margins, solid growth, and high returns on capital
Five criteria for identifying attractively priced businesses with above-average potential

Your extra benefits of subscribing to the Hidden Value Gems Newsletter

  • You can sleep well at night when you partner with great businesses
  • You don’t need to trade often as the companies continue to reinvest capital on your behalf for years and decades ahead
  • Stop worrying about macro as these companies are in good financial position with low leverage
  • Keep your mind focused on what matters the most and leave ‘noise’ outside, as I process hundreds of financial statements, research notes, articles, and blog posts filtering the best ideas that appear in the Newsletter

Learn more about different subscription options

You can enjoy exclusive Hidden Value Gems content via three subscription plans: Premium, Pro and Lifetime membership. Premium members have the option to pay for the subscription monthly or annually.

Free

As a free subscriber, your access to the new content will be limited.

Premium

This is the core plan for active investors who want to receive independent research with unique investment ideas and differentiating views. You can pay monthly or save money by subscribing to the annual plan.

Every month you will receive four new stock ideas that I am actively researching with summary valuation tables, financial ratios and key value drivers (Monthly Stock Idea Lab). This will save you time and broaden your investment universe.

You can see my past publications on stock ideas (Monthly Stock Idea Lab) here. In one year, you will have a collection of 48 interesting names to consider. At a total price of $€360/year, you get one idea for just €7.5, which is the price of two cups of coffee or a small lunch. I am sure it is worth your money, especially since there is more to this subscription.

You will be notified each time I decide to buy or sell a stock from my real-money portfolio with key reasons and additional thoughts.

You will also receive more detailed reports (10-15 pages) on high-quality companies with strong moats, skilful management, attractive valuation and other unique features.

Extra perks for Premium subscribers include live video calls where you can discuss specific stocks and investment themes.

Finally, you will get a €200 voucher for online courses and workshops that will be launched in 2024. You can find more information on this in the FAQ section below.

Pro

The main advantage of the Pro plan is that in addition to all the Premium content, you can ask my opinion on the stock of your choice. I will do my own research, looking at the company’s product, management, financial performance and valuation and provide you with a 1-2 page note sharing my views.

I will not be able to provide a deep dive (20+ pages) report on individual stocks at requests under this plan. However, if you are interested in more specific analysis, I am happy to discuss it.

You will also get an exclusive opportunity for 1-1 direct email or video chat. Of course, this communication will be limited to reasonable hours and will be scheduled in advance. I retain the right to cancel the plan and reimburse you for the unused balance of your Pro subscription if the number of requests or communication becomes unreasonably intense.

I hope you will also enjoy your absolutely free access to the online courses and workshops that will be launched in 2024 (see the FAQ section below).

The Pro plan has a limited capacity.

Lifetime member

This plan provides maximum value as you make only one payment and get full access to all the reports and exclusive content forever.

No more subscription worries, as you never have to make renewal payments or face further price hikes.

The return on this one-off investment will rise as the library of exclusive content continues to grow over many years.

You can also enjoy complimentary access to all online courses that I will launch in 2024 (free of charge).

As a privileged member, you will also enjoy small-group dinners with like-minded people.

I will be delighted to help you with any queries and provide priority support if you have any questions or issues.

The lifetime membership plan has a limited capacity and will soon be closed for new members.

    Trusted by many professional investors
    • Christian Putz
      Founder & CIO of ARR Investments

      Ildar’s newsletter helps me to find new angles in investing. ‘Why most people lose money in the stock market?’ is a Super Artikel.
    • Julio Utrera, CFA
      Senior Analyst, Southeastern Asset Management

      I always find unique and high-quality ideas in the Hidden Value Gems newsletter, which I love reading. Ildar’s analysis of Exor is one of the best I have seen so far.
    • Joe Wickes
      Head of UK Corporates, Commerzbank AG
      It’s been a while since my Moscow years, but I always look back on that time fondly and I enjoyed working together. I just signed up to your newsletter and I’m looking forward to reading your thoughts and views. Best of luck.
    • Anton Barinov
      CIO of Ahead Asset Management

      I enjoy institutional-quality research and personal perspective that Ildar adds on less-covered investment opportunities, which makes his work unique and highly valuable.
    • Can Demir
      Head of Financials, WOOD & Co

      Ildar has been a key analyst contact for hedge funds, family offices and long-only funds in emerging Europe for over 15 years. Now, he is making his research available to investors of all shapes and sizes.

      Hidden Value Gems provides DIY investors institutional-grade research on stocks that big money can overlook. It's also an excellent resource for investment philosophy, Mungerism and larger companies - not least Ildar's favourite Berkshire Hathaway.

      With Ildar's exceptional credentials and his money behind his ideas, Hidden Value Gems is hands down the best offering on the market today.
    • Alessio Chiesa
      Chief Economist, ADA Economics

      Ildar's products are a great resource that I really suggest both newcomers to finance and seasoned professionals. As a subscriber to his newsletter for nearly a year, I can definitely recommend it based on the insightfulness and originality of its content. Ildar is blunt when sharing his view and not afraid of challenging traditional "consensus" assumptions. His unique style feels very holistic and highlights the amount of research and care he puts into everything he releases.

      My favorite analyses are the ones covering the oil industry. Drawing from two decades of experience, he offers an accessible approach to valuing such a complex industry that only someone who has true experience in the sector can guide you through.
    • Private Investor
      London/UK

      I find HiddenValueGems very insightful to read about potential companies to invest in that are good to excellent businesses trading at reasonable prices. It also helps me as a sounding board on competitive advantages and risks of my current portfolio of companies. I would definitely recommend the newsletter to any long-term investors.

      Ildar Davletshin is a bit a star of the UK stock market bloggosphere.
