Chautauqua’s Velarde on Exploiting Time Arbitrage

The eurozone outlook may depend on an earnings rebound driven by ECB rate cuts and German fiscal stimulus. In this episode of the Inside Active podcast, host David Cohne, Bloomberg Intelligence’s mutual fund and active management analyst, and co-host Laurent Douillet, senior equity strategist at BI, spoke with Nathaniel Velarde, a partner of Chautauqua Capital Management and portfolio manager for the Baird Chautauqua International Growth Fund (CCWIX). Velarde outlines their long-term, high-conviction approach built around time arbitrage and the three key traits they seek in companies. He also discusses the team’s RVR framework for evaluating positions, why they maintain a thesis book and how non-US markets still offer fertile ground for stock pickers. The podcast was recorded Aug. 6.
