My guest on the show today is Soo Chuen Tan, the Founder and President at Discerene Group. Soo Chuen started the firm over 13 years ago with less than $100mm in assets. Since then, the firm has grown to manage over $2 billion in for clients. Discerene has one of the most compelling structures and relationships with its LPs of any public investing firm I know. I have had the privilege of listening to Soo Chuen speak on other podcasts and I was excited to chat with him on Compounders about:
- How he managed to convince his LPs to provide him with a drawdown structure;
- The hurdle rate for calling capital from LPs;
- Avoiding conformity and the kind of contrarianism that works for Discerene;
- The characteristics of a business that deserves to exist; and
- What attracts him to invest in emerging markets.
