Interview: James Montier on value investing

James Montier needs no introduction to the readers of Investment Postcards. Prior to joining Jeremy Grantham’s GMO in 2009, he was co-head of Global Strategy at Société Générale. Montier is the author of several books, including Behavioural Investing: A Practitioner’s Guide to Applying Behavioural Finance, Value Investing: Tools and Techniques for Intelligent Investment, and The Little Book of Behavioural Investing.

A two-part interview with Montier comes courtesy of Miguel Barbosa, editor of the Simolean Sense blog, who has kindly given me permission to publish this excellent material here. The first part follows below and the second part will follow tomorrow.
