Veteran Investor Shares Journey, Insights, and Philanthropy
A seasoned investor and fund manager shares their experiences and insights in a recent interview. From early setbacks to satisfying philanthropy, they discuss their journey and offer advice to others.
The interviewee's first foray into investing involved buying a stock after the 1987 market crash, only to later suffer losses on Eurotunnel options. This taught them the importance of avoiding losses. Their most satisfying experience as a fund manager is using their income to donate to Christian charitable organisations worldwide. Despite their success, they do not have a professional role model and are annoyed by drivers lacking integrity and humility.
With a long-term investment horizon, they are not bothered by short-term performance. Fascinated by Sir Humphrey Monmouth, an English merchant who risked his life to translate and distribute the Bible in English, they express their opinion on people who refuse to admit and learn from their own mistakes. They recommend 'The Bible' and their own book 'Investing for Life' for fund managers to read. Reflecting on missed opportunities, they regret not investing in multiple stocks at once, such as luxury goods manufacturers like LVMH and Richemont, or software houses like Autodesk and Dassault. If not a fund manager, they would have been a full-time Sunday school teacher.
The interviewee's journey in investing has been marked by learning from losses, finding satisfaction in philanthropy, and maintaining a long-term perspective. Their fascination with historical figures and commitment to personal growth offer valuable insights for fund managers and investors alike.
