We're chatting to Brett Schafer and Ryan Henderson from Arch Capital, a hedge fund based in Seattle. Brett and Ryan also host the Chit Chat Money podcast. We love that Brett and Ryan are super public about their holdings, which gives us plenty to chat about in this podcast. We’ve chosen three to unpack in more detail.

First, the largest holding in the Arch Capital fund - Nelnet (NNI) and as they’ve written “Has this student loan company turned itself into the next Berkshire Hathaway?” Then it's to Dropbox (DBX) - which is just outside top 10 holding in Arch Capital fund, but an interesting one to unpack given the competitors and the share price movement (down 20% past 5 years). Then we turn to Match Group (MTCH)... cause money may not buy love, but love can make money. Match Group, owner of Tinder and dozens of other dating platforms, is the third largest holding in Arch Capital’s fund.

Also, don't forget – we’ve written a new book! It’s coming out on 22 August and you can pre-order now from Amazon or Booktopia. Keep your ears out for events that’ll celebrate the launch, but we look forward to sharing it with you!
