The chapter explores the significance of ongoing due diligence in investment decisions, reflecting on instances where misjudgment of management influenced negative outcomes and necessitated the reassessment of investment theses. It discusses the strategy of maintaining a concentrated portfolio for enhanced returns while balancing diversification to mitigate risks. The conversation delves into position sizing, optimal portfolio management practices, the dynamics of sibling collaboration in investing, and personal and professional aspirations driving long-term success in the business.
Jonathan Tepper is the CIO of Prevatt Capital, a $450 million long only firm he founded in 2020 that takes a quality and value approach to own a concentrated portfolio of global monopolies. He is also the author of The Myth of Capitalism, a book we discussed alongside his career path on the show five years ago. That conversation is replayed in the feed. Our conversation this time around bookends our prior discussion, covering Jonathan’s unique upbringing and education on one end and his creation of Prevatt Capital to apply the lessons from The Myth of Capitalism on the other.
As a disclaimer, I so took to Jonathan when we first met that I’ve been an advisor to him and Prevatt Capital since launch and am an investor in the strategy.
