In this episode, I spoke with Andrew Woodruff, Chief Investment Officer for Black Lotus Capital, a hedge fund focused on digital assets.

Now I was very much looking forward to this because a couple of months ago Andrew and I organized a couple of breakfast meetings with family offices that are in the FundKernel investor network and what struck me during those breakfasts was how Andrew could talk about digital assets in a way that even traditional finance brain can relate and understand.  He really helps demystify a lot of misconceptions about digital assets so I was all gung ho in getting him to this podcast so he can share his view to a wider audience.

This is not an episode you want to miss if you want to learn more about digital assets.

Rizal Wijono is the Managing Director and Head of Business Development at SYNCICAP Asset Management.

I was very much looking forward to this one because Rizal is an expert in ESG and sustainable investing.  Now ESG has been a very hot topic as of late and some people might even call it controversial and divisive.  But when speaking with Rizal I can sense that he is very passionate about this topic but more importantly, he is very knowledgeable.  And I think we definitely need more knowledge and education around ESG and sustainability so with that said, I hope you’ll enjoy this conversation.  I certainly learned something from it.  So here is my chat with Rizal Wijono of SYNICAP Asset Management.
