Episode notes
Growth vs. Value
- Growth stocks' outperformance isn't solely due to a digital world acceleration.
- It's tied to a low-growth, low-inflation environment pushing investors towards higher-growth companies.
Growth as a Bond Proxy
- Low yields compress the yield curve, increasing demand for yield elsewhere.
- Growth companies become bond proxies, offering long-duration plays in this environment.
Investing in Growth
- Use a barbell strategy combining established, profitable growth companies with more speculative ones.
- This balances the potential of high growth with the stability of proven businesses.
