Biography

Pierre van der Mersch, dubbed the Belgian Warren Buffett, controls investment company Brederode.

He began his career as a bank clerk in 1958, and in the 1980s began building his fortune by taking control of a series of publicly-traded shell companies.

His asset management style focuses on taking long positions in undervalued companies.
