Biography

Investment Philosophy
Greenblatt is famous for the "Magic Formula Investing" strategy. His philosophy is based on two simple metrics: Return on Capital (to find "good" companies) and Earnings Yield (to find "cheap" companies). He believes that buying a basket of companies that rank high on both metrics will consistently outperform the market over the long term. He is also a pioneer in "Special Situations" investing, focusing on spin-offs, restructurings, and merger arbitrage.
