PRINCIPLED ACCOUNTING
Royce Special Equity Fund’s legendary value manager Charlie Dreifus is known for his deep dive accounting, going through company finances with a fine tooth comb to identify financial weaknesses and strengths. It’s a skill and passion he learned from his mentor, award-winning accounting professor Abraham “Abe” Briloff, a renowned forensic accountant known for exposing accounting chicanery in columns for Barron’s. Dreifus is determined to keep the Briloff legacy alive.
