Mason Hawkins is a well regarded investor who manages Southeastern Asset Management. Hawkins has been in the investment business for more than 25 years and was one of the original founders in 1975 of Southeastern, of which he is now the majority owner. He has managed the Longleaf Partners Fund since its inception in 1987 and the Longleaf Partners International Fund since its inception in 1998. Southeastern manages more than $31 billion in client and investment company assets.
Hawkins believes that superior long-term performance can be achieved when positions in financially strong, well-managed companies are acquired at prices significantly below their business value and are sold when they approach their corporate worth.
