Steve Mabb is the Chair of the Board at the Australian Shareholders' Association. In this episode we explore a critical aspect of investing: trust in management. Trust in management is vital to a company's success, especially in light of recent governance failures. Steve emphasises the importance of assessing management quality. He shares insights from his experience monitoring ASX companies, highlighting that while most companies are well-managed, there are exceptions. He urges investors to pay attention to red flags, such as a lack of transparency from management or decisions that seem misaligned with shareholder interests.
