Jack Tang

I write about value and dividend investing from the perspective of a self-directed investor. I consider myself a value investor, seeking misunderstood and undervalued stocks with good fundamentals. My goal is to outperform the FTSE 100 over the long term while taking less risk to achieve those returns. I have been a contributor to The Motley Fool since 2015.
