About Us

Third Avenue Management is a New York City-based asset manager that utilizes a disciplined, value-oriented, and asset-based approach to investing in publicly traded securities.

Rooted in our founder Marty Whitman’s time-tested philosophy, Third Avenue adheres to a value approach when evaluating commercial enterprises and the securities they issue.

A Pioneer in Value Investing

For more than three decades, Third Avenue Management has consistently pursued a fundamental, bottom-up approach to deep value and distressed investing.

We focus on four key investment pillars

Third Avenue Management’s unique value investing philosophy was developed by our late founder, Martin J. Whitman, a veritable legend of deep-value investing. Having spent much of his career as a renowned restructuring and bankruptcy expert, Marty developed an acute appreciation for the importance of balance sheet analysis as it relates to both corporate creditworthiness and corporate asset value.

Third Avenue offers multiple investment solutions focused on the team’s highest-conviction ideas, an approach that leads to high Active Share across our portfolios.

The Firm’s core investment strategies each construct concentrated portfolios of high-conviction investments within their respective investment universes.

An Uncommon Approach to All Cap Value Investing.

Our strategy seeks long-term capital appreciation by investing opportunistically across a global universe of sectors, geographies and security types to build a differentiated portfolio of contrarian and special-situation opportunities. The strategy’s investments are generally characterized by what we believe are strong financial positions, valuation supported by tangible assets and market prices substantially below our estimate of intrinsic business value.

An Uncommon Approach to Small-Cap Value Investing.

The Small-Cap Value strategy is derived from Third Avenue’s value-oriented approach and is driven by our focus on well-managed companies with financial strength, potential to compound NAV, and securities priced at a discount to our conservative estimates of NAV. This leads to a portfolio of what we believe are high-quality businesses trading at deep discounts to intrinsic value.

Strategic Real Estate at Value Prices, Since 1998.

For more than 25 years, Third Avenue’s Real Estate Value strategy has sought out value-oriented opportunities through investments in the securities of well-capitalized and strategic real estate enterprises on a global basis.

Capturing excess returns from inefficient markets.

Our International Real Estate Value strategy employs a high-conviction approach to investing in listed real estate securities outside the U.S., with a differentiated style focused on high-quality compounding real estate entities, complemented with special situation opportunities.

An Uncommon Approach to All Cap International Value Investing.

The International Value strategy’s flexible mandate takes an opportunistic, all-cap, and benchmark-agnostic approach to non-US equity investing. Opportunities are evaluated with an emphasis on financial strength and an ability to compound net asset value, while our price-consciousness restricts our investment activity to securities priced at significant discounts to our conservative estimates of net asset value.

Pursuing Real Value in Global Real Estate Since 1998

Third Avenue’s real estate strategy seeks total return with an emphasis on long-term capital appreciation and low levels of portfolio turnover. The Fund invests across an expansive universe that includes the securities of real estate and real estate-related enterprises globally.

A Sustainable Approach to International Real Estate Investing

Our International Real Estate Strategy seeks to achieve long-term capital growth and current income through a portfolio of securities of publicly traded real estate companies located outside the U.S. that may include REITs, real estate operating companies and other publicly traded companies whose asset base is primarily real estate.
