Ebene, 25th April 2025 – Oliver Müller, Chief Investment Officer of Accresco Investment Management, will represent the expertise of the Mauritian investment advisory firm at the prestigious 2025 Value Investor Conference at the University of Nebraska (Omaha), from 27th April to 2nd May 2025. Recognised as one of the world’s most respected forums for investment analysis and philosophy, this event brings together the elite of value investors at the University of Nebraska each year.
In his presentation – scheduled on 2nd May – entitled “Swans, Bulls, and Dodos: My Journey to Sustainable Value Investing”, Oliver Müller will chart the evolution of his thinking and challenge conventional norms. His central thesis defends the idea that sustainable value investing must now lead the way towards the future of asset management. He will unveil an innovative approach that reconciles financial performance and responsible investment – a vision developed from Mauritius, but with a global relevance.
“Our investment philosophy integrates the principles of quality and value to create a coherent strategy that addresses contemporary challenges,” explains Oliver Müller, whose approach is inspired by the teachings of legendary investors Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, as well as former Unilever CEO Paul Polman, all known for their unconventional yet highly successful approaches to investing and business leadership, respectively.
Oliver Müller’s international professional background, which includes senior positions at JPMorgan, Merrill Lynch, and Deutsche Bank in London, Frankfurt, and Zurich, brings a unique perspective to his investment vision. His presence at this international forum highlights the emergence of Mauritius as an attractive centre for international talent and financial innovation.
“Too often, Mauritius is perceived solely as a financial centre. Companies like Accresco demonstrate that the island can also be a fertile ground for developing innovative investment philosophies, attracting international talent who contribute to shaping global wealth creation narratives,” he emphasises.
According to the data that will be presented by Accresco, their “Sustainable Value Investing” strategy has generated an annualised return of 15.3% since December 2011, significantly outperforming global benchmark indices. This performance demonstrates the viability of an approach that integrates financial and sustainable considerations.
Accresco is an investment advisory firm based in Mauritius, specialising in sustainable value investing. As a signatory of the United Nations Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), the company combines quality investment strategies and a responsible approach to deliver superior long-term returns.
The Value Investor Conference, which attracts participants from over 25 countries and six continents, offers a unique opportunity for interaction with world-renowned investors in an academic setting. The presence of a representative from a Mauritian company among these experts confirms the growing attractiveness of Mauritius as a platform of excellence for international financial services.
