He survived the disastrous 1929 stock market crash and subsequent Great Depression. For Graham, valuable lessons about the critical need for protecting money were learned. To get profitable results in the stock market, he needed a better way and his “Margin of Safety” rule was born. While Graham’s contribution to modern finance is unquestioned, it’s far greater than most realize. Beyond teaching investors how to safely invest in the stock market, he laid the foundation for proper risk management that applies to how an entire portfolio of investments should be built and managed.

Our Margin of Safety tool honors Benjamin Graham’s timeless wisdom and zealous commitment to safe investing.
