One of Benjamin Graham’s investment strategies was to purchase shares in companies trading at less than net current asset value, also commonly referred to as working capital. The theory behind such an approach is that you are purchasing the company’s most liquid assets at a discount, so if you were to buy the company and liquidate its assets, you would make a profit.
