My guest on the show today is Balkar Sivia, Founder & Portfolio Manager at White Falcon Capital Management. In this episode, Balkar shares his unique path from engineering to investing, and why he built White Falcon around an unconstrained, opportunistic philosophy — one that rejects traditional style boxes like “growth” or “value.” We dive into White Falcon's three “engines” — Compounders, Value Today, and Value Tomorrow — and how, for Balkar, this structure should result in part of the portfolio always working. Balkar walks through case studies, explaining how he looks for quality businesses facing temporary challenges, and how narrative shifts and multiple expansion drive returns over a three-year horizon. We also discuss the lessons he's learned in managing value traps, how he's thinking about AI as an investor, and the importance of evolving your process over time. At the heart of it all is a focus on quality management, incentives, and high-conviction positions in a concentrated 20-stock North American portfolio.

It was a pleasure to welcome David Puritz back to the Alpha Exchange. A colleague of mine from 25 years ago and now the CIO of Shaolin Capital Management, Dave has some excellent insights to share on uncorrelated investing broadly and on the current state of convertible bond trading, risk, and liquidity, specifically. When he last joined the podcast in 2021, the Fed was still at zero, five-year yields were 75bps and Dave warned investors to avoid long-duration, low-coupon converts. The epic drawdown in bonds in 2022 made that call quite prescient.We talk about some of the pricing dynamics within converts, where Dave sees the risk of being wrong as especially high. Here, he points to the pricing of high implied vol underlyings that can suffer from vol compression that is not offset by a tightening of credit spreads. Overall, he sees many areas of the converts market with little margin for error. On the risk management front, Dave states that in order to get a position to a fully desired sizing, the first purchases generally need to be made at the wrong price. In fact, he says, “you want to be wrong” on your earliest purchases and be averaging in at lower levels. In this context, we explore the notion of cheapness and finding value in the convert space. Dave differentiates between fundamental value, value in beta and technical value.With deficits soaring and the traditional stock-bond hedge broken, we also talk about Dave's thinking on hedging fiat currency risk. He argues that Bitcoin—once dismissed as too volatile—is increasingly functioning as a digital form of scarcity, a portfolio hedge alongside gold in a world of relentless money creation. He also shares some very interesting insights onBitcoin-linked equites like miners and the potential applications to AI.I hope you enjoy this episode of the Alpha Exchange, my conversation with Dave Puritz.
Peter Hodson, chief investment officer & president of i2i Capital Management, shares his outlook on North American Small & Mid-Caps.
My guest on the show today is Ben Finser, Founder and Portfolio Manager at Fin Capital Management. In this episode, Ben shares his journey from a decade at Kabouter Management to launching Fin Capital in 2024, and how his entrepreneurial background shaped his passion for analyzing and owning high-quality businesses. We dive into his exclusive focus on international micro and small caps, a “target-rich universe” of some 15,000 listed companies in developed markets outside the US. Ben explains why these overlooked businesses — often with no sell-side coverage and tiny trading volumes — present compelling opportunities for investors willing to dig deeper. Ben also details his boots-on-the-ground due diligence process, including traveling globally to meet management teams, comparing companies to global peers, and navigating cultural nuances when assessing business quality and long-term growth. We talk about his “pseudo-activist” engagement approach, where he works alongside management to improve disclosures, expand investor outreach, and unlock value. Finally, Ben shares a case study of a Japanese procurement software company he helped bring onto investors' radar, and offers perspective on why US outperformance may be cyclical — and why international microcaps deserve a place in more portfolios.

My guest on the show today is Andy Kurita, the Portfolio Manager at Kettle Hill Capital Management. Andy has a track record in long-short investing in small cap US equities that goes back to the early 2000s. We haven't had many managers who actively short on the podcast and I was curious to hear from Andy about: How Kettle Hill is differentiated versus other hedge funds; What he thinks about the small cap investing landscape today; The difference between a stock that fits in the long book versus in the short book; What it has been like to be a short investor in recent years; and How he thinks about concentration and risk management.
Jonathan Booth, Chartered Financial Analyst and CPA accredited in business valuation, joins Discover Lafayette to share his remarkable journey from being a young boy of 11 years of age falling in love with stock investments to CEO and Managing Partner of Booth Laird Capital Management, a boutique investment firm based in Lafayette. “My uncle would buy me stock in McDonald's…that was my birthday and Christmas present every year from all the family members instead of toys.” Jonathan's early exposure to investing—paired with a deep appreciation for Warren Buffett's philosophy of buying undervalued companies with strong fundamentals—set the tone for a career defined by rigorous analysis and long-term strategy. He emphasizes patience and discipline, especially in volatile markets: "I loved it. My uncle and I would go over the earnings releases. By the time I was in high school, I was managing my own portfolio of stocks. When I was 19, he took me to the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting, Warren Buffett's company. They call that the Woodstock for capitalists. It's a chance to listen to Warren Buffett talk for six hours. I didn't know what to expect, but you just sit there and listen to the Oracle of Omaha, as they call him, spew wisdom." A passionate and disciplined financial strategist, Jonathan also serves on the board of FlyGuys, the Lafayette-based drone data company in which Kevin O'Leary of Shark Tank fame recently invested $3 million in a $13 million Series A-1 funding round and led the round; O'Leary's Wonder Fund investment will accelerate software innovation, expand global reach, and strengthen the commercial drone workforce. Quote from Kevin O'Leary on LinkedIn: "Big news. I recently led a $13 million Series A-1 round through the Wonder Fund North Dakota. The investment went into a company that's redefining how the physical world feeds the AI economy.Meet FlyGuys — a national network of over 16,000 FAA-certified drone pilots powering the capture and delivery of reality data at scale. From thermal roof scans to solar inspections, agriculture, and infrastructure, they handle it all. FlyGuys is the connective tissue between AI platforms and the physical world.I backed this team because their software is built to scale, their operations are rooted in service and precision, and their impact is real. AI platforms depend on clean, reliable inputs, and FlyGuys delivers exactly that. They're not just serving today's use cases, they're building global infrastructure for tomorrow's AI economy, while creating new income opportunities for drone pilots around the world. Data is the new oil. AI can't function without it. FlyGuys is building the pipeline." A native of Baton Rouge, and graduate of Catholic High and LSU, Jonathan originally pursued accounting. "I got a scholarship from the College of Business, and I chose accounting because I already did it. After my first semester, my professor hired me to work at his private accounting practice because I did pretty well in the class. And so I just kept getting pulled along into accounting and got my bachelor's and master's in accounting. Jonathan's performance earned him a rare honor: “I passed the CPA exam in 2006 with one of the ten highest scores in the world, known as the Elijah Watt Sells Award.” He also passed all three levels of the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exam (a minimum of three years of exams) on his first attempt. While working at Ernst & Young, Jonathan maintained his passion for investing, ultimately founding Booth Laird Capital Management. Alongside his partner Kevin Laird, Jonathan focuses on concentrated investment strategies, targeting exceptional businesses and waiting for undervaluation. “We call them compounding machines,” he explained. "The term 'hedge fund' scares a lot of people, but it's truly just the way the fund is structured. It allows us the ability and freedom to invest more as we see fit.
Kristen Van Gelder is Partner and Co-CIO at Evanston Capital Mangement, where she has spent her entire career since college. We begin our conversation with the roots of Kristen's career, which corresponds quite closely with the roots and growth of Evanston Capital Management from the Northwestern University Endowment Management Team. Her career has spanned a significant period in the evolution and use of hedge funds in a portfolio and we spend some time on this, given the enduring focus on Evanston on this particular asset class. Kristen's view is nuanced and original and it is particularly interesting to probe beneath the headlines to assess the true state of affairs for this still significant asset area. Finally we reflect on advice she internalized in recent years (from a unique source, it must be said) to be secure in “running her own race”. We discuss this as advice for the next generation.

Reena Jashnani-Slusarz is the chief operating officer and General Counsel at Juniper Hill, a multifamily office based in Menlo Park, California. I had fun sitting down with Reena to talk about her non-linear career arc to find herself in a GC and COO role. This was a wide-ranging conversation touching upon some of the legal and operational complexities of investing in crypto from a VC perspective and how one gets up to speed on new asset classes like catastrophe reinsurance. This is all about the intersection of traditional operational frameworks on new and emerging asset classes. We then discuss the current state of multi-family offices today and how investors want a higher touch experience and the implications for those in operations and beyond.

My guest on the show today is Matt Blair, the co-founder and CEO of REI Capital Management. Private real estate has been an asset class that has performed well over many years—but has largely been inaccessible to the average individual investor. In co-founding REI, Matt has the goal of democratizing access to private real estate investments. In this enlightening conversation, Matt and I discussed: How retail investors can typically access private real estate investments today; Why REI has gone through a lengthy SEC process to try to expand access to private real estate; The investment strategy REI is employing; Important investor considerations such as diversification and liquidity; and The types of property Matt is looking to acquire—without overpaying of course.

In der Regel hätten die Investmentbabo Michael und Endrit heute eine neue Folge von „Babos sprechen Börse“ aufnehmen sollen. Da der heutige Gast jedoch spannender ist als die aktuelle Marktlage, haben die Babos stattdessen eine neue Folge „Fondsmanager im Fokus“ aufgenommen. Zu Gast ist heute Yefei Lu, Fondsmanager und Geschäftsführer von Lyra Capital Management sowie Fondsberater bei PRIMA Fonds Services. Dort verantwortet er zwei Fonds. Yefei und Endrit kennen sich seit vielen Jahren, da sie rund acht Jahre lang bei Shareholder Value Management zusammengearbeitet haben. In der heutigen Folge verrät Yefei seinen Ansatz des Quality-Investing, seine vier Prinzipien, warum er nicht in Unternehmen mit hoher Verschuldung investiert, was er aktuell von europäischen Aktien hält und warum skandinavische Unternehmen seiner Meinung nach die Nase vorn haben. Einmal mehr haben die Babos festgestellt, dass eine Stunde einfach zu wenig Zeit für so viele wichtige Themen ist – und sie werden Yefei daher bald wieder einladen! Viel Spaß beim Zuhören und Teilen!

Today we were delighted to welcome Michael Kao, Private Investor at Kao Family Office and CEO & Portfolio Manager of Akanthos Capital Management. Michael founded Akanthos in 2002 and transitioned to focus on his family office in 2019. Michael is also the author of "Kaoboy Musings” on Substack (linked here). Previously, he was a Portfolio Manager at Canyon Capital Advisors, where he co-founded the Canyon Arbitrage Fund. Michael started his career in the commodities unit at J.Aron/Goldman Sachs and has over 30 years of experience across commodities, credit, convertible arbitrage, and distressed investing. As we approach what President Trump has coined “Liberation Day” on April 2nd, we were eager to find someone who could help us all better understand the rationale behind these developments and their implications. In recent Substack posts, Michael has shared some of his interesting theories and makes a case that what appears chaotic and unpredictable might actually be part of an audacious but coordinated plan. We were thrilled to hear Michael's latest insights on market volatility, energy dynamics, the evolving investment landscape, and why April 2nd might just be another stop on the way to (hopefully) something better. In our conversation, we first ask Michael for his view on the complexities surrounding the Trump Administration's actions and how to interpret the end goals of their policies. He shares an analogy comparing the current U.S. economic environment to navigating an asteroid field (like Han Solo's decision to fly the Millennium Falcon directly into an asteroid field when being chased by the Empire in Star Wars), highlighting several key economic challenges to manage including the current 7% non-wartime deficit, short-term debt reliance, geopolitical tensions, and the need for broader economic recalibration. We explore various ways to manage the U.S. debt including the possibility of terming out debt and reshoring manufacturing, the impact of oil prices on the broader economy, the weakening U.S. dollar, and how the Trump Administration's shift from a “carrot” to “stick” approach in policy negotiations may affect market dynamics. We discuss potential scenarios for a U.S. recession or economic slowdown, the growth of the private equity market, the increasing role of private credit in financing private equity-backed companies, and the role of the Federal Reserve in the broader economic picture. Michael provides insights on how sovereign wealth funds could help manage the U.S. national balance sheet by leveraging geographic assets, his experience in transitioning to managing his family office and focusing more on uncorrelated private investments, the potential for a black swan event, the risk of ongoing geopolitical tensions escalating, the importance of thinking outside the box, and much more. We greatly appreciate Michael joining and sharing his expertise and insights with us all. As you'll hear, we discuss some of Michael's recent posts. His piece entitled “Mental Models – Navigating The Asteroid Field With Trump 2.0” is linked here and the Kaos Theory podcast episode featuring Michael Every is linked here. Mike Bradley kicked off the show by noting that markets are in a “Calm Before the Storm” mode with investors awaiting the impact of Trump's April 2nd reciprocal tariffs. Rather than focusing on how markets might react post-reciprocal tariffs, Mike reviewed how markets performed in Q1'25 with the “Trumpatility” overhang. In bonds, the 10yr fell in Q1 by ~35bps to ~4.20%. WTI price ($71.50/bbl) ended Q1 relatively unchanged, which was a big surprise given the bearish oil sentiment that had built throu

I am thrilled to have the incredible Sam McLemore on the show this week. Sam is a true champion of empowering women to achieve financial independence and leads a prolific career in investing. In this episode, we dive deep into Sam's fascinating life, starting from her childhood in Vermont, where she grew up with parents who had contrasting views on money. These early exposures to money, working from a young age, and navigating financial anxieties shaped her relentless drive to never be dependent on anyone financially.

As the founder and managing member of Patient Capital, Sam discusses her vision for creating a highly trusted, investor-friendly firm, and shares her passion for supporting other women in finance. We talk about balancing career and family life, the importance of instilling financial values in her children, and her drive to integrate principles of stoicism and mindfulness into her business practices. Key Topics: Opposites attract in money values Sam's early anxiety around money and how her dad influenced her to start investing Starting university with a chemistry major and ending with a business degree How meeting Bill Miller gave Sam an early launch into the investment and finance field Building equity by buying her first house one year out of university Finding satisfaction and fulfillment from saving money Aspiring to become a Vermont innkeeper in 2011 How her money mindset shifted after selling the inn Setting a goal to get more women into investing Instilling good money values in your kids without an inherent struggle mindset How Sam is starting to see her values take shape in her business Bringing the ideals of Stoicism and Buddhism into finance and investing Connect with Samantha online: Website: https://patientcapitalmanagement.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/patient-capital-management-llc/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/samantha-mclemore/ X: https://x.com/patientcm Find more from Syama Bunten: Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: https://syamabunten.com/ Download Syama's Guide to Getting Rich: www.syamabunten.com Women & Wealth Catalyst Summit: https://women.win/ Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com

On today's program, two former leaders from Archegos Capital Management have dropped their financial claims against disgraced Christian philanthropist Bill Hwang. Why did they drop out, and what does that mean for the other staff members hoping to collect $32 million? We'll have details. And, the controversial ‘He Gets Us' ads showcased its message again at Sunday's Super Bowl game. After critics last year labeled the ads too political, this year's version was decidedly less so. We'll take a look. Plus, Mission Aviation Fellowship co-founder Jack Hemmings dies at 103…in 2024, he became the oldest pilot to fly a spitfire.

My guest on the show today is Adam Wilk, Founder and Portfolio Manager at Greystone Capital Management. I invited Adam back on to discuss an article he wrote back in August 2024 to explore the idea of investors/shareholders finding companies, in other words, delving deeper into a statement made famous by Buffett, "companies ultimately end up with the shareholders they deserve." There's many different ways to think about this concept - Adam and I do our best to cover them all. I thought it was particularly interesting for why Adam even wrote the article was inspired by potential LPs and other investors asking him why won't this company stay cheap forever; I would've thought for sure this article was inspired by management teams asking him about this topic. And for full disclosure, we discussed a number of companies during today's podcast, I am not a shareholder in any of them.

Real Estate Investing With Jay Conner, The Private Money Authority
The real estate industry is full of promise and potential, but navigating its complexities can often feel like running a never-ending race. If you're a real estate investor looking to break free from the constraints of traditional financing and maximize your profits, you're in the right place. In a recent episode of the "Raising Private Money" podcast, Jay Conner and David Richter dive deep into the transformative strategies that have not only kept them in the game but made them leaders in the field. Let's unpack their insights on raising private money and implementing Profit First principles.Raising Private Money: A Game-ChangerUnderstanding Private MoneyPrivate money refers to funds sourced from private individuals rather than traditional financial institutions like banks. This method of raising capital has become increasingly popular among real estate investors due to its flexibility, speed, and accessibility. According to Jay Conner, known as the Private Money Authority, raising private funds allows investors to operate under their own terms, becoming both the borrower and the underwriter.David Richter's JourneyDavid Richter, an expert real estate investor and the author of "Profit First for Real Estate Investing," shares his personal experience with raising private money. His entry into real estate began with traditional financing methods. However, after realizing the limitations and high out-of-pocket expenses, Richter pivoted to private money through his networks—family, friends, and specifically, high-net-worth individuals.Effective Strategies for Raising Private MoneyNetworking Groups: One of the most effective strategies discussed was the power of networking. Richter emphasizes the importance of joining local Real Estate Investment Associations (REIAs), masterminds, and even specialized meetups like "Investor Addicts" or "Captains of the Deal" cruises. These platforms bring together lenders and investors, opening avenues for funding and collaboration.Building Credibility: Jay Conner and David Richter stress vetting potential lenders and showcasing your own credibility. Maintaining transparency and demonstrating a strong knowledge of what you plan to do with your money instills confidence, making lenders more willing to invest.Implementing Profit First: Maximizing Your EarningsThe Profit First PhilosophyThe core idea behind the Profit First methodology is deceptively simple: pay yourself first. Traditional accounting often follows the formula: Sales - Expenses = Profit. Instead, the Profit First approach flips this on its head, proposing: Sales - Profit = Expenses. This shift ensures your business not only generates revenue but also secures and grows profit from day one.Creating a Cash Flow SystemRichter's real-life expertise is underscored by his work in company finance, where he helps businesses identify and stem financial leaks. By implementing the Profit First system, businesses allocate their income into several predetermined buckets, such as:Profit Account:Ensuring a portion of every sale goes directly into profit.Owner's Compensation:Paying yourself adequately.Taxes:Setting aside money to avoid tax season panic.Operational Expenses:Budgeting what's left to maintain and grow the business.OPM Account:Other People's Money, which safeguards investment funds from operational expenditure.This structured cash flow system not only promotes financial health but also provides clarity, fostering better decision-making.Avoiding Common Financial PitfallsDavid Richter points out that many real estate investors fall into the trap of associating business growth solely with more deals, often neglecting the financial health of their company. The most common mistake, he su
