The Intersection of AI and Value Investing with Jim Falbe, Managing Principal, Portfolio Manager of Saguaro Capital Management

My guest on the show today is Jim Falbe, Managing Principal, Portfolio Manager at Saguaro Capital Management. After spending almost 8 years at Vulcan Value Partners, in 2021 Jim left to start Saguaro. The most unique thing about the Saguaro strategy is that it employs an internally-built AI system that helps with screening for stocks as well as with investment decision making. In this in-depth interview, we covered:

• How Jim’s experiences at Vulcan have shaped his approach to starting Saguaro;
• What the term AI actually means to Jim and Saguaro;
• How the team members use AI now and how they hope to use it in the future;
• Why a SMID-cap strategy was compelling enough to launch with; and
• Why he prefers to invest with companies growing inside of their moats.
