WHY I WRITE

My name is Swen Lorenz. I've launched Undervalued-Shares.com to serve as an inspiration and research resource for other investors.

Here is what this website provides:

1. Easy-to-invest opportunities
   A focus on liquid, well-known companies that anyone with a brokerage account can easily buy and sell (with the very occasional small-cap share or alternative asset class thrown in).
2. DIY investing
   A philosophy based on private investors taking charge of their own investments, instead of paying a lot of fees to – mostly mediocre – financial services companies.
3. Community
   A network of investors around the world, i.e., not limited to any country or area.

My trademark product is extensive, investigative research reports. Hard-hitting, more exclusive and more useful than anything you will likely find on other websites. Available for an absolute steal, at USD 49 per year for an Annual Membership, or as part of my more extensive USD 999 Lifetime Membership package.

I also publish a free weekly column. My Weekly Dispatches provide observations about markets, investments, and random other subjects. They will teach you new investment strategies, and give you new ideas that you can research further.

Everything you find on this website has been written by myself. What you get is 100% genuinely me.

It is solely and entirely your own responsibility to make investment decisions. Please read my disclaimer to be clear about what this website can (and cannot) deliver.

My website does not provide specific investment advice, and you will have to make your own investment decisions.

NB: If you are more interested in management related subjects, I recommend my other blog, swen-lorenz.com, which is aimed at entrepreneurs and people interested in financial independence.

MEDIA GALLERY

InvestorStory

InvestorStory.co is a new website that interviews investors about their investment philosophy. The same team previously launched Autopsy.io, a start-up related website that got featured in Bloomberg, the Wall Street Journal, Business Insider and other major publications. I was delighted to be among the first 10 to be asked for an interview – and the long-read format should interest some of my readers!

Financial Times

In spring 2019, I researched frontier investing in Uzbekistan. This used to be as closed-up a country as North Korea, and I was part of one of the first investor trips there. The Financial Times reported about our trip and I briefly appear in the video - it’s fun to watch!

Financial Times

A feature-length article in the Financial Times about Uzbekistan and the investments that are now available in the country. In the paywalled article (free for FT subscribers), I briefly state why now is the time to look at this particular frontier market.

De Telegraaf

The Dutch "Telegraaf", the Netherland's largest daily newspaper, picked up on my research about a take-over situation on the Amsterdam stock exchange. The article doesn't offer anything new in itself, but it's good to see how far and wide some of my research travels.

Smart Investor

Germany's "Smart Investor", which I consider the highest-quality German investment magazine, reported extensively about Gazprom. The article, titled "Gazprom - probably the world's cheapest share" quoted my research. The magazine is for subscribers only but can be purchased as a single copy on www.smartinvestor.de.

BBC News

During their reporting on the IPO of Virgin Galactic, the BBC referenced my research.

Interview with Germany's "Börsen Radio Network"

BRN is Germany's #1 talk radio channel for investors, and has been broadcasting for over 20 years. Swen talked to Andreas Gross about the Polish stock market, the country’s international perception among investors, and which two companies investors with an interest in Poland should look at. Listening to the interview requires a registration, which is free and takes less than a minute.

Relaunch of Master Investor Show

Der Aktionaer

Leading German investment magazine, Der Aktionaer, interviewing me about my travelling and how I find interesting investments along the way. This is 2006 vintage but the approach hasn't change since then. I have been at this for a while!

Private Eye

The UK's no. 1 satire magazine published an investigative report about the hostile take-over attempt at Savoy Asset Management, which had the backing of Kuwait's ruling family. I was involved on the side of the shareholders that pressed for changes. Savoy subsequently fled into the arms of a White Knight, which resolved the issues in a lucrative way.

In late 2013, I tipped AstraZeneca being ripe for a take-over bid. Lo and behold, just a few weeks later Pfizer launched a take-over attempt. Nothing beats keeping your ears on the track and having a far-flung network of high-calibre contacts.
