Investor background

Terry Smith

“Buy good companies. Don’t overpay. Do nothing.”

Terry Smith is the founder, chief executive officer and chief investment officer of Fundsmith, the investment firm he established in 2010. Before becoming a professional fund manager, Smith spent decades analysing financial institutions, examining corporate accounts and running listed businesses. His 1992 book, *Accounting for Growth*, examined the techniques companies use to make reported earnings appear stronger than their underlying economics. He subsequently led Collins Stewart and Tullett Prebon, gaining direct experience in acquisitions, corporate governance and capital allocation.

This background matters because Smith approaches equity investing partly as a forensic financial analyst and partly as a business owner. He is particularly alert to companies whose apparent growth is supported by aggressive accounting, repeated acquisitions, rising leverage or large amounts of capital that must continually be reinvested merely to preserve their competitive position.

Fundsmith’s strategy is deliberately simple. It seeks a concentrated portfolio of resilient global businesses capable of sustaining high returns on operating capital. Smith favours companies with recurring revenues, strong customer relationships, pricing power, high cash conversion, conservative balance sheets and long opportunities to reinvest. He generally avoids banks, commodity producers, utilities, airlines and other businesses whose economics depend heavily on leverage, regulation, external capital or unpredictable prices.

The instruction not to “overpay” does not mean Fundsmith buys only statistically cheap stocks. Smith is willing to pay a reasonable premium for a superior business, but he does not want future returns to depend mainly on further valuation expansion. “Do nothing” is equally important: low turnover reduces transaction costs, taxes and the risk of replacing a proven compounder with an inferior idea.

Smith qualifies as a super investor because he has combined a clearly defined philosophy with a substantial, publicly observable record. From its launch in November 2010 through the end of 2025, the Fundsmith Equity Fund compounded at 13.8% annually, compared with 12.1% for the MSCI World Index measured in sterling.

Smith remains the central investment decision-maker and continues to serve as CEO and CIO alongside Julian Robins.
