This week, in an episode from the Allocator’s Edge mini-series of the Value Perspective we’re joined by Fabio Cecutto, the Head of Listed Equity at Willis Towers Watson. Fabio brings a wealth of experience, having joined Willis Towers Watson in 2006 after roles at JP Morgan Asset Management in their multi-manager division and as a sell-side analyst at Banca IMI, part of Intesa Sanpaolo. In the episode, we explore how Fabio and his team assess the qualitative side of fund managers, especially when past performance can be misleading; the differences between boutiques and larger firms; the role of behavioural psychology in team structure; and finally, how to stay grounded when the feedback loop between process and outcome is painfully slow.

Before Mediolanum Jason was Head of Equities at St James’s Place Wealth Management.

This week, we welcome a returning guest back to the Value Perspective. Adam Rozencwajg is the co-founder and Managing Director of Goehring and Rozencwajg. His first appearance on the podcast came back in 2024 in a special episode hosted by Django Davidson and Juan Torres-Rodriguez, that quicky became one of the most downloaded in the show’s history. This time, our discussion with Adam focuses on the realities of deep value investing in the commodities space. Special thanks to Elliott Plotkin from Kopernik Global Investors for sending over their paper Why Invest in Mining Companies, that helped shape our conversation. Adam shares his views on why he runs a long-only commodity boutique instead of a hedge fund; what it means to be a deep value investor in this sector; the mental frameworks he and his team use to improve decision making; and why traditional DCF models may fall short when valuing mining companies. Adam also tackles the role of gold in today’s economic environment. Enjoy! NEW EPISODES: We release main series episodes every two weeks on Mondays.

This week we’re delighted to have Herb Greenberg with us on the Value Perspective. Herb is a veteran financial analyst and financial journalist with a massive following across media platforms.

Our guest for this episode of our Allocator’s Edge mini-series is a true legend of the investment world, David Salem. David is currently the Managing Director of Capital Allocation at Hedgeye, a role he took on in 2023.

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.
