Whitney Tilson Is Looking To Sell Value Investor Insight

by ValueWalk StaffJanuary 17, 2014
Value Investor Insight run by John Heins and Whitney Tilson is up for sale. See below for more details, which ValueWalk received via an email from Tilson.

As Value Investor Insight enters its 10th year, my long-time partner and co-founder, John Heins, is contemplating a next stage of his career. This has prompted our contemplating a next stage in Value Investor Insight’s evolution as well. We’re exceedingly proud of VII (attached is our latest issue) and will ensure that it doesn’t miss a beat, but we’re starting to look for a partner or partners who might be interested in buying all or part of the business and taking over John’s full-time responsibility in running it. (My involvement in the day-to-day operation is almost nil, both because John does an exceptional job interviewing investors and producing the newsletter and because my energies are focused on being a money manager, not interviewing other ones!) The business is a beautiful, high-margin cash cow. If you or someone you know might have an interest in it, please let me know and I can give you further information.
