Quotes

[12:43] - “I would say also, to extend on Jimmy’s point, [our due diligence team is] a bit more nimble…I think being a smaller, more collaborative team gets us the ability to execute a little bit more efficiently, [and to] make decisions a little bit more quickly [while] not sacrificing our process along the way.”

[16:43] - “Process driven philosophies, being able to quantify why it works and being consistent in how you implement it, I think, are the biggest 3 things that we look for [when considering managers and strategies].”
