John Flynn

John J. Flynn is Principal and Portfolio Manager at Pzena Investment Management in New York, where he has served since 2005. He is co-portfolio manager for several of the firm’s value equity products, including U.S. Mid Cap, Large Cap, Focused Value, Small Cap Focused Value, and SMID-capitalization strategies. Flynn is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day management and disciplined investment process for these portfolios, which target undervalued stocks across the U.S. equity market spectrum.

His specific focus is on value investing in U.S. equities, covering small-, mid-, and large-cap companies. He leads rigorous fundamental research efforts to identify compelling opportunities within these asset classes by systematically analyzing companies that trade at significant discounts to intrinsic value, often in sectors others avoid due to recent challenges or controversies.

Flynn holds an MBA with distinction from Harvard Business School and a BA in Music from Yale University. Prior to Pzena, he was an associate at private equity firm Weston Presidio and gained consulting experience at Bain & Company. Throughout his career, Flynn has contributed to developing and executing Pzena’s disciplined, research-driven value approach, helping the firm build its reputation as a leading value manager.
