Hi, I am a portfolio manager co-managing a multi billion dollar fund who is passionate about dissecting and sharing my views on the trends, technologies and companies that will underpin the growth and value creation of the next decades. I believe that everyone should learn how to think like an investor and asset owner, as a big portion of your future wealth will be created by owning assets and in particular listed equities. There are a lot more great listed companies than what people know.
In today’s world, you need to have part of your money in equities. High net worth individuals, financial institutions, private equity, the vast majority have made their wealth thanks to their ownership of companies. I will help you understand the biggest trends and technologies/value chains in the world and how to think about stocks as an owner and investor.
My objective is to help you create wealth by bringing institutional level research helping you own equities that you understand. Having had the benefit of investing and following these companies and trends for many years, building deep knowledge on these topics and frequently meeting the management teams of these companies, I aim to bring you the institutional portfolio management perspective on these topics so that you build the confidence and conviction to invest in those stocks and structural trends.
