In the final Value Perspective podcast of 2023 our guest is Ian Lance, a UK value fund manager at  Redwheel (formerly ‘RWC Partners’). Before joining Redwheel, he was a fund manager here at Schroders, where he worked very closely with Nick Purves. Nick Purves was a mentor to Nick Kirrage and Kevin Murphy in their early careers and coined a saying that has been passed on to every value investor at Schroders, that if no companies in a portfolio are going bankrupt on a yearly basis, then you’re not taking enough risk. While working at Schroders in 2010, Ian had the very bright idea to start a blog that went on to become the Value Perspective. Ian discusses with us; what it was like to work with Nick Purves at the start of the Value Perspective; what has changed and what has stayed the same in the City of London over his four-decade career; co-management and the risk of confirmation bias; what is the most difficult thing about value investing in today’s market; and finally, is the UK a dead asset class? Enjoy!
