Exploring the depths of distressed investing can occasionally uncover undeniable proof that the asset is far from lifeless, revealing a scenario much more promising than the market price once suggested. All it takes is a catalyst to turn a dead investment into an opportunity with huge asymmetric returns.

In the latest episode of the Thematic Investors podcast, host, Kieran Cavanna, Chief Investment Officer and Co-Founder, Old Farm Partners sits down with the ‘dynamic duo’ of PlusTick Management LLC – Tommy Hill, Managing Partner and Portfolio Manager, and Adrian Keevil, Managing Partner and Portfolio Manager. 

Tommy and Adrian discuss: 

• investment risk taking and what it truly mean to be a distressed investor when you’ve beaten the MSCI World benchmark.
• their distressed flags that they target to highlight a potential investment opportunity and why they’re constantly swinging the bat to hit winners out of the park while insulating them from any larger losses.
• how investing in one distressed investment (regardless of oil, gas, AI, datacenters, telecom, etc) could lead to many other investments that have been overlooked, yet hold an opportunity for stronger upswings.
• the application of models to aid their thesis in distressed opportunities and how to understand the business, key stakeholders, outstanding litigation cases, and more.
• what is stakeholder theory and how it can help predict what a distressed opportunity will look like in the future.
• why they largely ignored early investing advice from past mentors, stating ‘nothing with wheels’, and how it played out with American and US Air.
• And more
