With the good fortune to be mentored by financial industry visionaries Ron Baron and Alan Greenberg, Jason learned to think outside the box and challenge conventional wisdom early in his career. Companies can fall out of favor with the investment herd and see their share price plunge, not because of diminished inherent value but because of programmed trading volatility and a lack of accurate, reliable information. In some instances, poor performance is due to misdirected or disengaged leadership. These situations often present investment opportunities for seasoned turnaround investors like Jason Ader.
One of the key principles of Jason's unique investment perspective is that "the crowd is usually wrong." When industry analysts reach a consensus view about a stock, he often reaches the opposite conclusion.
Jason's approach is not that of what is typically referred to as an activist investor--hostile, flamboyant and boisterous--but rather that of a corporate collaborator, a sympathetic advocate for uncovering value, enhancing performance, and achieving a higher stock price for shareholders.
Jason's history of successful turnaround investments spans a variety of industries and includes Las Vegas Sands Corp., Bwin Interactive Entertainment, The Stars Group Inc., International Game Technology, Papa John's Pizza, First Bank of Nevada, Adelie Foods Group, and others.
In his book, Jason explains his unconventional analysis that uncovers underperforming companies with underlying value, and the solutions that helped return them to profitability and restore shareholder value.
