Why I Feel Confident Running a Concentrated Portfolio
The odds of a permanent pyramid in any one position is very low. The advantages of diversification roll off pretty quickly. I'm more comfortable with that because, you know, I can get to know those businesses really well and understand them deeply.
On today’s episode, Clay sits down with Chris Mayer to discuss the lessons from his book - 100 Baggers.
Chris is the author of 100 Baggers, and the portfolio manager of Woodlock House Family Capital. Chris’s book was published in 2018, and has quickly become a favorite within the investing community. The book very clearly explains the ingredients needed for a stock to compound and grow to 100 Bagger status, which we discuss during this episode.
IN THIS EPISODE YOU’LL LEARN:
00:00 - Intro
04:16 - The primary characteristics of companies that reached 100 Bagger status.
07:08 - How Chris views valuation when purchasing high-quality companies.
09:51 - How Chris assesses the durability of a moat.
18:15 - Why stocks are one of the best long-term protections against calamity and chaos.
44:27 - Why Chris prefers to own companies with management teams that own substantial portions of the company’s stock.
35:13 - Why Chris chose to concentrate his fund into only 10 holdings.
37:04 - Chris’s assessment of Constellation Software and why it’s one of his favorite holdings.
