The Value Perspective

In this episode of the Value Perspective we're joined by a very special guest, Barry Ritholtz. Barry launched The Big Picture, one of the first financial blogs, back in the 1990s and it is still going strong today. He is also a podcasting pioneer with Bloomberg's Masters in Business, a successful investor and entrepreneur, and the founder of Ritholtz Wealth Management which oversees more than $5 billion in assets. His latest book is titled How Not to Invest. This episode was recorded the Friday after what some called Trump's Liberation Day, a day that brought plenty of market volatility and strong investor reactions. In this conversation, we discuss one of the best definitions of investing; what Barry has learned from interviewing some of the top financial minds; how media affects investor behaviour; the challenge of saying ‘I don't know'; and two key criticisms of passive investing.

In this episode in our Allocator's Edge mini-series we welcome Craig Thomas, Chief Investment Officer of Verger Capital Management. In this role, he oversees all aspects of the firm's investment process, including asset allocation, portfolio construction and manager selection. Prior to co-founding Verger, Craig spent ten years performing similar investment duties for Wake Forest University's Office of Investments where he most recently served as Director of Investments. He also serves as a mentor with Girls Who Invest, is a board member of Disability Advocates of Northwest North Carolina, and has also served as an Advisory Board member to a number of investment partnerships. And if the name Verger Capital Management is ringing bells, it may be because the firm's CEO Jim Dunn was a guest on the podcast last year. In the episode we chat with Craig about putting Verger's 3 Ps into practice; the importance of portfolio diversification and liquidity in uncertain times; dealing with higher inflation and maintaining a focus on absolute returns; and finally, reasons to select and change fund managers.

Welcome back to part two of our special 150th episode celebration. If you haven't listened to part one yet, we highly recommend that you start there. In the first episode, we explored David Marcus's early years at Mutual Shares, his experience working with the legendary Michael Price, and his journey into deep value investing in the US and Europe. In this second episode, we continue our conversation with David, diving into the second half of his remarkable career. We cover his transition from stock-picker to operator; what it's like running a family office and managing permanent capital; whether value investing works outside the US and how deep value evolved in Europe in the 1990s and early 2000s; the role of passive and active investing in today's markets, and where mutual funds fit in; and finally we cover David's reflections on managing Michael Price's family office, after his passing. Once again, a huge thanks to Stacy Havener for making this introduction. Enjoy! NEW EPISODES: We release main series episodes every two weeks on Mondays.

It's out 150th episode this week and we celebrate this milestone with a special two-part conversation with David Marcus, who was kindly introduced to us by Stacy Havener. David began his career in 1987 at Mutual Shares working under the legendary investors Max Heine and Michael Price. Mutual Shares was the boutique where Seth Klarman launched his career in the late 1970s. This episode is particularly meaningful as we have long wanted to pay tribute to Michael Price, following his passing a couple of years ago. David's career is one of the most impressive and dynamic that we have featured on the Value Perspective. After rising through the ranks at Mutual Shares, he stayed on when Michael Price sold the firm to Franklin Templeton in 1996. He remained at Franklin Templeton until 2000, when he launched his own hedge fund with backing from Swedish billionaire Jan Stenbeck. After Stenbeck's passing, David was asked by the family to help restructure their assets, leading him to establish one of Europe's first family offices in the early 2000s. He stayed with them until 2009 when he launched his long-only fund Evermore. Following Michael Price's passing, David was once again called upon, this time to structure and manage the Price family office, a role he held until his retirement at the end of 2024. In the first part of our conversation, we cover David's first years at Mutual Shares; what it was like to work with Michael Price; a fantastic anecdote on real-life deep value investing; a journey to discovering European deep value investing; and finally, the most important and long-lasting lesson he learnt from Michael Price.

In this Allocator's Edge series episode of the Value Perspective we're joined by Madison McCall, an active product specialist at Vanguard, where she has worked since 2017. With eight years at the firm, she is halfway to the impressive 16-year average tenure for fund managers at Vanguard. Her family's background in journalism has sharpened her ability to communicate how fund research creates an edge in active management. Pus, as a triplet, she is no stranger to cutting through noise in a crowded space. In this episode, we explore: what edge in fund management research means and how to evaluate performance; the power of the 4P framework; why patience is a competitive advantage; and finally, how a traditionally passive house like Vanguard views the passive vs active debate.

In this episode of the Value Perspective, we're joined by Eva Shang, the co-founder and CEO of Legalist, a tech enabled investment firm specialising in litigation assets, based out in San Francisco. Eva started the company after dropping out of Harvard at the age of nineteen and has since built Legalist into a notable player in the alternative credit space. At the time of this recording in October 2024, Legalist was in the process of raising for their fourth fund and their previous funds have shown a strong track record. Legalist focuses on three key areas, litigation finance, government account receivable factoring, and debtor-in-possession credit lines and bankruptcy cases. It's a niche corner of the market and a unique take on deep value investing. In this episode we discuss: what Legalist does and how investors should approach litigation finance as an asset class; the decision making choice behind Eva's decision to leave Harvard and start her own business; the challenges of patent litigation and why it's so different from commercial cases; and finally, how investors evaluate litigation finance, particularly for those who are unfamiliar with the American court system.

We're thrilled to kick off the New Year with our first guest Stephen Clapham. You may remember Stephen from our episode at the Quality Growth Conference, but he's widely recognised in both City and Wall Street circles for his impressive career. He's been a sell side and a buy side analyst, founded his own research boutique and launched the popular website Behind the Balance Sheet, which offers courses on understanding accounting in complex situations. Stephen is also the host of a highly regarded podcast and Substack under the same name, where he has interviewed some of the biggest names in finance. On top of that, he is the author of the book, The Smart Money Method - How to Pick Stocks Like a Hedge Fund Pro. In this episode, we discuss: the critical role of accounting proficiency in asset management; balancing company narratives with the hard facts of accounting; why probabilities can mislead earning estimates, and the importance of ranges; how much time an analyst should dedicate to studying a single company; and finally, how to manage today's constant information overload.

Our guest this week, on the Value Perspective is Adam Rozecwajg, a deep value investor with a specialised focus on the materials and commodities industry. Together with his partner, Adam co-founded Goehring and Rozencwajg, a firm dedicated exclusively to investing in natural resources. Commodities are perhaps the best example of the capital cycle theory, and Goehring and Rozencwajg's investment process reflects this perfectly. They are a fundamental research firm focused exclusively on contrarian natural resource investments. Their team has over 49 years of combined experience and produces top quality differentiated research, analysing both commodities at a macro level and individual securities. Returning guest Django Davidson from Hosking Partners joins us to the co-host the episode, in which we discuss: Goehring and Rozencwajg's deep value approach to materials and commodities; investing through the lens of real option value; how Goehring and Rozencwajg incorporates probabilistic thinking into their Bayesian framework; the role of promotional demand dialogues; and the importance of commodities in the era of the EV.

This week, in an Allocator's Edge episode of the Value Perspective, we're delighted to be joined by Khaled Said, one of the founders of Capital Generation Partners, also known as CapGen. CapGen specialises in managing large pools of capital for families, endowments and individuals, helping clients build portfolios that not only protect wealth but also put it into productive use through diverse and dynamic strategies.

This week on the Value Perspective podcast, we're delighted to be joined by Alex Roepers, a guest at this year's London Value Investment Conference. Alex is the Founder, President and Portfolio Manager of Atlantic Investment Management and a legend in the value investing world. With nearly 40 years of experience, he has navigated countless market cycles and gained a reputation as a ‘gentleman activist', someone who engages constructively with management to unlock value, especially in the industrial sector. His approach is distinct, with a concentrated portfolio of only 8-10 stocks, a patient mindset and a sharp eye for undervalued assets. Born and raised in the Netherlands, but now based in New York, Alex brings an international perspective to his investing style, following his previous experiences at Thyssen-Bornemisza Group and Dover Corporation. In this episode, we discuss: Alex's career, including how his approach has evolved over decades in public markets; the lessons he has learned from unexpected success; his thoughts on whether investors today are less performance-driven than they once were; his memorable analogies between investing and both sailing and the Tour de France; and finally, how he uses catalysts to drive price discovery in ways that parallel private equity.

This week on the Value Perspective podcast, we're joined by Harry Crane, Professor of Statistics at Rutgers University and a Fellow at the London Mathematical Institute. Harry is a master in probability, risk and their real world applications. His book Probability, Intuition and Common Sense covers how the role of intuition and common sense is often diminished in decision making in professional contexts. This episode is co-hosted by returning guest Luca Dellanna. We discuss: the differences between studying probability and statistics; challenges in teaching probability and how to improve it; models with unallocated probability variables; the role and benefits of prediction markets; and the value, or limitations of base rate analysis.

This week on the Value Perspective podcast we're delighted to bring together two leading practitioners, who sit at different ends of the Value investing spectrum, to discuss and debate their similarities and differences. The fascinating conversation, split over two episodes, features Nick Kirrage, Head of the Value Team at Schroders and Jacob Mitchell, Chief Investment Officer and Lead Portfolio Manager at Antipodes Partners. Antipodes is a global equities manager with a pragmatic approach to Value investing. The firm was founded in 2015 and has just over $6 billion in assets under management. It is headquartered in Sydney Australia and has an office in London. The episodes are hosted by Simon Evan-Cook, an award-winning multi-asset fund of funds manager and leading columnist with Citywire, who regularly posts on his blog, Never Mind the Silver Bullets. In this second episode, we delve deeper into Antipodes and Schroders' portfolios, explore different areas of opportunity and how macro is navigated and how to find the right clients for your strategy. There's also a frank discussion about each manager's most painful mistakes, the lessons they have learned from them, and how Nick and Jacob's approach to risk has evolved over time. Enjoy! Enjoy!

Recently we attended the London Quality Growth Conference and we've put together a special quilt episode, featuring many of the key speakers at the event. One of the things we love about recording this podcast and attending this type of conference, is it gives us a chance to step outside of our usual circle and have conversations with people who think differently. Whether it's Value, Growth or Quality it's all investing at the end of the day, and hearing new perspectives sharpens our own thinking. We're joined by an incredible line-up of investors and allocators from the Quality Growth world. You'll hear from the likes of Nick Train, from Lindsell Train, Anthony Brenton, from Turtle Creek, Richard Warne, from Copia Capital, Christopher Rossbach, from J. Stern, Oliver Wayne, from Redington, Stephen Clapham, from Behind the Balance Sheet, David Shapiro, from Sustainable Growth Advisers, Fabio Cecutto, from Willis Towers Watson, Kunal Desai, from GIB Asset Management, Simon Brewer, from the Money Maze podcast, Stephen Yiu, from Blue Whale Capital, Stephanie Niven from Ninety One, and Ronald Chan, from Chartwell Capital. We think there's something powerful about walking across the proverbial aisle and we hope you enjoy these conversations as much as we did. Enjoy!

This week we're delighted to welcome Andrew Walker to the Value Perspective. Andrew is a portfolio manager at Rangeley Capital and the voice behind the popular podcast Yet Another Value Podcast. He authors a Substack under the same name. He is also a huge fantasy reader and has given us some of excellent book recommendations, that you'll hear at the end of the episode. In the episode we discuss: Andrew's take on whether the value investing philosophy is still alive and what it's like building a boutique firm based on that approach; the toughest challenges in investing from a behavioural standpoint; the one lasting behavioural edge that any investor can cultivate; how Andrew filters investment ideas, especially as someone who's not your typical cigar butt investor; and finally, how he views communication with his investor base through his podcast, Substack and beyond, and how much comms is enough.

This episode is the second part of our conversation with Willian Green. William is the bestselling author of Richer, Wiser, Happier and one of the most respected voices in the world of investing. If you missed part one, we encourage you to check it out at we covered some thought-provoking topics, from the challenges of writing a new book to the value of independent thinking. This episode picks up right where we left off, continuing our dive into the wisdom Wiliam has gleaned over decades of interviewing some of the world's greatest investors. We discuss the role of luck, not just in investing, but in life as a whole, and explore whether William would be interested in interviewing someone as polarising as Cathie Wood, an anti-value investor. Co-hosting again is Harald Berlinicke, a partner at Sarnia Asset Management and the investment manager for a family office. Harald's extensive experience as an investor and his passion for sharing his experience on LinkedIn make him the perfect co-pilot for this episode. Together, we discuss everything from the importance of stoicism and the success of great investors, to the ongoing battle between active and passive management. Enjoy!

This week's special episode features Willian Green, bestselling author of Richer, Wiser, Happier and the host of the podcast with the same name, which has featured some of the greatest minds in investing. Educated at Eton, William has been a journalist for decades and has had the privilege of sitting down with some of the most influential investment personalities of the last 30 years. He takes us on a deeply personal journey, filled with wisdom and anecdotes from his conversations with legendary value investors. In this episode we're joined by a special co-host, Harald Berlinicke. Harald is a partner at Sarnia Asset Management as well as the investment manager for a family office. He's also a very active volunteer and consultant of the CFA Institute and a prolific LinkedIn influencer. Harald is a long-time fan of William Green, and when William accepted our invitation, we knew we had to bring him on board. As a manager selector and an investor with over 30 years of experience, Harald's unique perspective adds an extra layer of depth to our conversation. In the first of our two episodes, we explore the challenges of writing a new book, William's focus on Value contrarian investors, and the importance of independent thinking. We also delve into his most challenging interviews in the investment world and discuss why being directionally correct is often more important than being absolutely right. Enjoy!

This week on the Value Perspective, we're joined by a lovely but anonymous guest, who, for legal reasons, we're going to call Lionel Hutz. Lionel is the author of the Substack Valorem Research, where he provides research for investors on uncorrelated legal special situations, covering issues such as merger arbitrage, patent litigation and international arbitration. By day, he is a legal expert who specialises in special situations. In this episode, we discuss: what legal special situations are and how you screen for these types of investment ideas; how to access legal special situations without a deep understanding of the US legal system; what legal situations tend to be most complex; accounting for the variable of time when looking at this type of investing; and finally, the game theory aspect involved in special situations investments.

In this episode we welcome Andrew McDermott from Mission Value back to the Value Perspective. He's here to help unpack the recent turmoil in the Japanese market that kicked off in early August. We discuss: whether anyone could have seen this coming; the concept of recency bias, especially during the latest downturn; strategies for managing portfolios in such extreme environments; the fascinating concept of convexity within equity investing; and finally the broader narrative around Chinese and Japanese equities.

This week on the Value Perspective we welcome author and consultant Luca Dellanna as our guest.  Luca is the author of 10 books, but his latest on the topic of ergodicity has really caught our attention. Ergodicity is a revolutionary concept that challenges traditional thinking. It posits that by focusing on maximising short-term outcomes, we can ensure long-term success. Luca's book breaks down this complex idea into an accessible and understandable format. Ergodicity is fundamentally about the impact of time on our decisions. Imagine deciding whether to invest all of your money in a high-risk stock that could either soar by 500% or plummet to zero. Ergodicity helps you to navigate such decisions and often leads to a profound shift in how we think about risk and reward. In this episode we discuss: why ergodicity is so difficult to understand and how it could be rebranded; why do we often forget about survival bias, even though we understand it; the pros and cons of Monte Carlo modelling; and finally, issues with other concepts like skin in the game.

In this episode, we're joined by Russell Napier. Fans of the pod will recall that Russell first appeared on TVP in 2021, so this is a warm welcome back. For those not familiar, Russell is an independent market strategist, financial historian, an author and the co-founder of the Library of Mistakes. If you find yourself in Edinburgh, the Library is well worth a visit - check out their website for further details. Juan and Russell explore what has changed in the world from a monetary point of view since his last appearance on TVP. They discuss what history has taught us about the state in which we find the world today, given the conflicts in Europe and the Middle East, but also what the current analysis is missing out on. They'll reflect on Russell's very well-timed prediction on inflation coming back, which he made in 2021, but also what is coming next. Finally, they analyse China's need to further devalue its currency. Enjoy!

Welcome to Allocator's Edge, a Value Perspective podcast mini-series where we will be engaging in conversations with some of the world's top capital allocators. In this everchanging landscape of heightened inflation and interest rates, we aim to unravel how and why capital allocators make the decisions that they do. Join us as we explore the nuances between healthcare foundations, examining the impact of inflation on endowments and the strategic choices between share buybacks and dividends for pension schemes. In this miniseries we aim to shed light on the inner workings of capital allocation, helping both investment teams and listeners gain a better understanding of mandates, global interplay and the intricate dance between strategy and reality. New episodes of the Allocator's Edge will be released on alternating Thursdays. In this episode we are joined by Chetan Gosh. Chetan joined Schroders in 2022 as part of the Outsourced Chief Investment Officer (OCIO) Solutions team. You may recall our discussion on OCIO from our recent episode with Jim Dunn in the US. Today we'll chat with Chetan about what that role looks like in the UK, including his aim to be the provider of choice for OCIO and Fiduciary Management Services. Before joining Schroders, Chetan was the CIO of Centrica's pension scheme arrangements and the firm's CIO for 12 years. There, his role covered investment strategy considerations, asset class and manager research, and liaison with investment advisors. Previous to Centrica, Chetan developed a fiduciary management offering at an asset manager, following his start as a pensions actuary. In this episode, Juan and Chetan sat down to discuss what is an OCIO; the challenges of the UK pension industry and all of its different schemes; caps on fees; runs to passives and the newest entrant on the scene – alternatives; how the gilts crisis impacts the industry and finally the impact of inflation.

In this episode in the Value Perspective ESG mini-series we're joined by Kathryn Porter, founder of the consultant firm Watt-Logic. Kathryn started her career in the finance and energy sectors with a focus on structured products and new business development. She founded Watt-Logic in 2016 to advise energy companies across the EU and UK on how to best capture the commercial opportunities of the energy transition. She noted how traditional market frameworks in the sector are being rapidly replaced which enables new sources of income and threatens business models. In her spare time Kathryn is a trustee of the Kid's Cookery School, an amazing charity that teaches cooking and nutrition skills to children across the UK and the Royal Choral Society, one of the leading amateur choirs in the country. In this episode, we discuss: the current landscape of the UK energy market and its main challenges; her views about wind and how her thoughts have changed over time; challenges to the UK grid when absorbing renewables; where UK energy policy stands today relative to the challenges faced by the energy transition debate; and finally, why she believes nuclear is the right strategy to move forward.
