About the Author
Paul J. Paquin is the Founder and CEO of TrustedCompanyReviews.com. In his role as Chief Investment Strategist for the publication, he oversees market analysis and financial commentary. A dedicated private investor, Paul applies a rigorous, data-driven approach to his personal capital allocation, managing a proprietary portfolio of over 1,800 active positions.
A devotee of the value-investing school of thought, Paul models his philosophy on holding-company giants like Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, combined with the risk-management discipline of Peter Bernstein. He utilizes a “reversion to the mean” strategy to identify high-quality assets trading below their historical averages.
This systematic, fundamental approach has resulted in a 44.37% average gain across his seasoned personal equity holdings (a data set of approximately 1,290 proprietary lots, excluding bond/index funds and short-term positions). Paul’s strategy balances core index stability with high-conviction value plays. For example, he has held positions in companies like Mueller Industries (MLI) since early 2019, maintaining the asset as it appreciated significantly by prioritizing fundamental business growth over short-term market noise.
