“They laid out a road map for investing that I have now been following for 57 years. There’s been no reason to look for another.” —Warren Buffett, on the writings of Benjamin Graham Legendary investing author and philosopher Benjamin Graham lived through interesting times. Soon after his graduation from Columbia College, the nation entered the First World War. As the stock market fluctuated in wild dips and peaks, the government seized control of the railroad industry, inflation and interest rates rose dramatically, and economic depression loomed on the horizon. During these events—and perhaps inspired by them—Graham began writing articles for The Magazine of Wall Street, putting to paper his earliest ideas on value investing and security analysis.

This is an independent compilation for investors and analysts. It contains unedited letters from the last 12 years of the partnership. The Graham-Newman Corporation stands as a compelling testament to the principles of value investing pioneered by Benjamin Graham, often referred to as the "father of value investing. Over its three-decade existence, spanning from 1926 to 1958, the investment partnership delivered an exceptional average annual return of 17%. This remarkable performance significantly outpaced the broader market, as represented by the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA), which yielded an average annual return of just 4.7% during the same period. To illustrate the magnitude of this outperformance, consider the growth of a single dollar invested in 1926. By the time the Graham-Newman Corporation was dissolved in 1958, that initial $1 investment had grown to approximately $110.97. In stark contrast, a similar $1 investment in the DJIA over the same 30-year timeframe would have only amounted to roughly $3.96. This staggering difference reveals that an investment in Graham-Newman Corporation generated returns approximately 28 times greater than a passive investment in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. This substantial disparity underscores the effectiveness of Graham and Newman''s meticulous approach to security analysis and their focus on identifying undervalued companies. Their strategy, rooted in fundamental research and a long-term perspective, enabled them to navigate various market cycles and consistently generate superior returns for their shareholders. The historical performance of the Graham-Newman Partnership serves as a powerful example of the potential rewards of disciplined value investing and offers valuable insights for investors seeking to achieve long-term capital appreciation. This collection of shareholder letters chronicles the final twelve years of the Graham-Newman partnership. These communications show the partnership''s investment approach, performance, and expectations for the future, alongside evaluations of specific investments. Readers will find discussions on different types of securities, such as bonds, preferred stock, and common stock, across industries like railroads, utilities, and insurance.
