Interview: Lawrence Lam - Lumenary Investment Management
Lawrence Lam is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Lumenary Investment Management, a boutique funds management business that invests solely in founder-run companies. Despite launching his fund in 2017 Lawrence has kept a very low profile, so I’m very glad I got this opportunity to speak with him.Lawrence is one of the brightest young thinkers I’ve come across. He is at ease blending mathematics, actuarial science, law, technology and investing into a concise thought and process. In this video and audio episode, Lawrence and I talk about his experience living with an entrepreneurial father, investment banking, inequality, valuation, turnarounds and, of course, the founder’s spirit. This is an episode I’ll listen to again, at least a few times.All show notes & resources: https://bit.ly/Lawrence-LamThe information in this podcast is general financial advice only.
