Some people invest in managed funds, some work as a fundie. A few brave souls create their own fund from the ground up. In this episode we hear from Matt Joass as he shares his insights into the inner workings of the industry, fast-growing kiwi start-ups and traps to watch out for. Matt’s ideal investment is a small, fast-growing business, that is capital-light, with demand- and supply-side competitive advantages, high returns on incremental invested capital, little analyst coverage, deeply aligned management (typically founders), and that are top-dogs or first-movers in an emerging and important industry. Lastly, the company must be trading at a discount to Matt’s estimate of intrinsic value.
