David Clark chats to one of Australia’s most respected, and quietly one of its most exceptional, investors, Paul Moore, Founder and Chief Investment Officer of PM Capital.

For more than four decades, Paul has built a reputation for exceptional long-term performance, deep fundamental research, and a rare ability to remain steadfastly contrarian when markets become euphoric or fearful. His flagship Global Companies Fund has delivered a remarkable compounding track record, most recently over 26% per annum for investors over the last five years, achieved without owning the Magnificent Seven, a feat almost unheard of in today’s market environment.

Paul shares:

* The DNA of a great investor: why temperament, patience, and an ability to stand alone matter more than ever.

* Lessons from 40 years in markets, from running a US equity fund as a 20-something to navigating booms, busts, and every style cycle in between.

* Why value is the only thing that matters, and why so many investors misunderstand what “value” truly means.

* The psychology of contrarianism and how to maintain conviction when the world is telling you you’re wrong.

* Sector and stock opportunities he sees right now, including European banks, global industrials, drug companies, and high-quality franchises trading at meaningful discounts.

* His candid take on AI, FOMO, global imbalances, geopolitics, inflation, and why he believes investors need to temper return expectations in the decade ahead.

* Why he partnered with Regal, how it extends his investing life, and why he intends to keep managing money “until the day I die.”

Paul’s blend of humility, blunt realism, and deep conviction makes him one of the truly distinctive voices in global equity investing.
