Hey everyone! And welcome to another episode of Euroz Hartleys “Finding the Front”!

Our show continues to grow fast and thanks for all the support. In this brand new episode we have something a little bit different and in many ways quite special. Australia has many great fund managers but only a few have achieved the respect and success over such a long period of time as Mr Peter Cooper, the founder of Cooper Investors based in Melbourne. Whilst he won’t acknowledge it himself and shies away from this type of recognition, Peter has been referred to as an investment legend and a titan of Australian Funds Management. An opportunity to sit down with Peter for an extensive conversation and gain such deep insights is rare.

Peter covers off on his background and what led him to his love of investment, the influence of the great Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger, long term investing and the Cooper Investors philosophy, and the present state of the world including his observations on the rising interest rate and rising inflation environment, the Russian Ukraine conflict, China, Bitcoin, Oil. Gold, Governments, the Australian Dollar, decarbonisation and his views on active v passive investing. As they say, knowledge is no burden to carry, and this is a podcast where Peter shares his valuable perspective and one that can give some serious understanding of life as a highly regarded, long established manager and investor of money.

Hey everyone and welcome to another big episode of Euroz Hartleys “Finding the Front”.

This episode is just such an absolute cracker! We have such an awesome opportunity to spend some time in conversation with a true leader in their field - Life Sciences, Technology and Data Strategy, Commercialisation and Innovation specialist Dr Liz Dallimore, the inaugural CEO of Argenica Therapeutics, stock code AGN. Argenica Therapeutics is a biotechnology company developing novel therapeutics to reduce brain tissue death after stroke.

She then went on to graduate from the University of WA and Oxford University with a PhD in Nueroscience. In this podcast Liz speaks openly, drawing from her more than 20 years of experience and her deep understanding and highly educated insights. This results in a seriously thought provoking discussion into the human brain, the effect of stroke on the human brain, and the business side of the life sciences and Australian biotechnology sector – a sector which she is very passionate about.

Liz is also a mother of three kids who during her career was awarded winner of the 2019 Women in Technology WA Tech + Awards, was featured in the Sunday Times STM Magazine for International Women’s Day 2020 as one of three WA Women making a difference and was selected as 1 of 25 Australian Female Leaders in the STEM for 2022 Federal Government Women in Leadership Development Program as well as Co-Founding a Medical Device Start Up Company and being the inaugural CEO of an ASX listed Biotech Company.
