In today’s episode, Shawn O’Malley (@Shawn_OMalley_) explores the fundamentals of, and merits in, being a long-term, quality-focused investor, using John Huber’s success and philosophy as an example to follow. Huber is the rare money manager who truly aligns incentives with his investors by using the template created by Warren Buffett back in his days before Berkshire Hathaway. 

You’ll learn about what makes Huber’s fee structure special, Huber’s philosophy for investing long-term in high-quality companies, how time-arbitrage gives long-term investors a structural advantage in markets, how to blend both a focus on value and quality, the importance of assessing compounding power, how much to pay for quality companies, how changes in valuation multiples affect returns even for great businesses, plus so much more!
