In this episode of the Planet MicroCap Podcast, I'm joined by Jim Zimmerman, Founder & Fund Manager, and Abby Zimmerman, Research Analyst, of Lowell Capital Management to talk about their disciplined small-cap strategy built around what they call the “Fort Knox” balance sheet. At its core, it's about owning resilient, cash-generative businesses with little to no debt—companies that can not only survive volatility but use it to their advantage. We dive into why they focus on operating cash flow over EBITDA, how they hunt for overlooked “boring” niche leaders trading at value prices, what they look for in management teams, and why constant re-underwriting—“buy and homework,” not just buy and hold—is critical to long-term compounding in microcaps. We mention several companies and sectors during this conversation, and I'm not a shareholder in any of them.

Ray Dalio says the world order is changing and the dollar system is cracking under debt, sanctions, and money printing. Institutions are floating capital controls and digital currencies while global powers move away from the dollar. In a world of inflation and financial repression, Bitcoin stands alone as neutral, fixed, and incorruptible. This is not about price. This is about the monetary reset of our lifetime.SPONSORS:

The Big Picture Blueprint: Navigating Land, Real Estate, and Business Success
In this episode, Mason and Dan look back on why they started GroundUp Partners, what worked, what didn't, and why they ultimately shut it down. They share how the idea came from a real gap in land investing, having more deals than capital, and why funding other people's deals seemed like a natural next step. Early on, it worked. Deals got funded, returns were solid, and the model proved it could make money.They also get real about where things broke down. The fund was treated like a side project while they were running full time land businesses. They underestimated how much time investor relations, admin work, and structure would take. They talk about having the wrong investor base, unclear roles between them, added stress from regulation and legal costs, and bad market timing that slowed deal flow when it mattered most.Tune in to hear the biggest lessons they took away, why focus matters more than new ideas, what they would do differently next time, and why narrowing their scope is the smartest move going into 2026.===Key Topics:-Why the fund was created in the first place-What worked early and proved the model-Where time, roles, and focus broke down-The impact of investors, regulation, and market timing-Why narrowing focus matters more than starting something new===If you're selling land and still relying on Facebook messages, you're making it harder than it needs to be. Acrefy helps land investors create clean, professional dispo websites where buyers can see everything in one place. It saves time, looks legit, and helps you close faster.

Your mutual fund has a chef and no, it's not random.When you invest in a mutual fund, you're not just buying a basket of stocks. You're handing your money to someone who decides what goes in, what stays out, and when the recipe needs a change. That someone is the fund manager.In this episode of Moneywise, Virat and Rachita break down who a fund manager really is using a simple kitchen analogy. Think of the fund manager as the chef, the market as the pantry, and your portfolio as the final dish. Just like a chef follows a process rather than cooking randomly, fund managers follow defined research and risk frameworks while selecting stocks.

Life isn't what it once was for star fund managers. The investment industry once thrived on big names but these widely recognisable figures are few and far between nowadays.Two that remain are Terry Smith and Nick Train but their Fundsmith and Finsbury Growth & Income investors have had their patience tested by five years of underperformance compared to just sticking money in a cheap market tracker fund.Both managers defended their approach this week, while offering their investors an apology of sorts.So, is it time to swap your star fund manager for a cheap index fund, or are the stock pickers likely to be proved right in the end?On this podcast, Georgie Frost, Helen Crane and Simon Lambert discuss the cult of the fund manager and whether it's had its day.Meanwhile, The Chancellor wants to get more of us investing but MPs have looked into her plans to cut the cash Isa limit and said it's unlikely to lead more people to the UK stock market.

As the calendar page turns to 2026, the team discuss what the year ahead could hold. Will the new year bring about any changes or is it business as usual? A midnight raid to abduct a Venezuelan strongman is certainly a new tactic for the US, but is President Trump's underlying aim still the same?

Very few people have truly changed the way we think about markets. Cliff Asness is one of them. Founder of AQR, student of Eugene Fama, and one of the sharpest thinkers in quantitative finance, Asness is part of that tiny group of investors whose ideas move global conversations, challenge long-held beliefs, and force even professionals to rethink what they think they know. In this exclusive conversation, we step directly into his reasoning: why factors work (and when they stop working), what “expected return” really means, how investors survive the toughest market cycles, and why being wrong alone often feels worse than being right too late. We talk about value, momentum, risk premia, the tension between academic theory and real-world markets, the role of AI in investing, and what it means to stay faithful to a method when everything around you tells you to abandon it. This episode is more than an interview — it's a masterclass in discipline, intellect, and humility from one of the greatest investors of our time. If you care about investing, Cliff Asness is a required stop. Produced and distributed by Corax. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
Poche persone al mondo hanno cambiato davvero il modo in cui pensiamo ai mercati. Cliff Asness è una di queste. Fondatore di AQR, allievo di Eugene Fama, tra i più brillanti pensatori della finanza quantitativa, Asness è uno di quei rarissimi investitori la cui voce muove conversazioni globali, smonta certezze e costringe tutti – anche i professionisti – a rimettere in discussione ciò che credono di sapere. In questa conversazione esclusiva entriamo dentro il suo modo di ragionare: perché i fattori funzionano (e quando smettono di farlo), cosa significa davvero “rendimento atteso”, come si sopravvive ai periodi più difficili dei mercati, e perché avere torto da soli è psicologicamente peggio che avere ragione troppo tardi. Parliamo di value, momentum, risk premia, del rapporto tra teoria economica e realtà, del ruolo dell'AI nella finanza, e di cosa significa restare fedeli a un metodo quando tutto intorno ti dice di mollare. Un'intervista che è molto più di un episodio: è una lezione di disciplina, intelletto e umiltà da uno dei più grandi investitori del nostro tempo.

The Psychology of Leadership: Turn Stress into Peak Performance, with Sebastien Page, a $500 billion fund manager How do top leaders and athletes use stress to boost performance instead of burning out? Most high-achieving leaders believe they have to eliminate stress to perform their best—but sports psychology reveals the opposite is true. The real problem isn't stress itself; it's operating too close to the edge without understanding your optimal performance zone, leading to burnout, lost creativity, and goal-induced blindness. In this episode of Impact with Ease, Blake talks with Sebastien Page, Chief Investment Officer at T. Rowe Price and author of The Psychology of Leadership, about the neuroscience and psychology of peak performance. Sebastien shares insights from 25 years as a leader in high-pressure finance, revealing how research from elite athletes like Simone Biles and Roger Federer can transform how you lead. You'll learn why zero stress isn't the goal, how to turn stress into energy, and the framework for sustainable success that helps you thrive at work while protecting what matters most in life. Episode Highlights Turning Stress Into Peak Performance [00:04] – Why zero stress isn't the goal for optimal performance [06:33] – The "second layer" of stress that leads to burnout [08:15] – The performance curve: when stress helps vs. harms your leadership Sports Psychology Meets Executive Leadership [11:18] – Zone pacing: finding your optimal speed as a leader [13:47] – Flow state and the balance between challenge and capability [15:20] – What Simone Biles teaches us about overtraining, rest, and coming back stronger Deep Work, AI, and the Future of Leadership [23:35] – Deep work vs. shallow work for high-performing leaders [27:28] – The optimistic case for AI [30:00] – Why burned-out leaders can't innovate in the AI era [32:29] – Eric Hoffer's wisdom: "Learners inherit the earth" Rethinking Success and the Psychology of Goals [34:15] – You're not burned out—you're addicted to the wrong goals [36:30] – The Harvard happiness study: what really predicts long-term fulfillment [38:48] – Achievement doesn't fix a misaligned life Resilience, Failure, and Sustainable Success [48:23] – How small daily misalignments drain your energy [50:07] – Addressing small stressors [51:06] – Roger Federer and learning to lose well [55:31] – The one habit that predicts thriving Powerful Quotes "What sports psychologists found is that optimal performance isn't at zero stress — it's at the point of healthy activation." – Sebastian Page "Achievement doesn't fix a misaligned life.
