Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

29: Meet Andrew McKie: Monopolies, Markets and Mindset
Q: Can you share your investment philosophy or process with our audience?
We approach investing as a balance between growth, quality, and valuation, focusing on the relative value of each business, its growth trajectory, and the durability of its competitive advantages. We value a cautious, style-agnostic mindset where the goal is to understand a company's intrinsic value and the returns it can generate over time, rather than chasing short-term momentum.
25: Meet Tom King, Olympic Champion and Chief Investment Officer of Nanuk Asset Management
Q: Was it challenging to transition from being an athlete to your career in finance, and how did you navigate that shift?
It was extremely difficult, involving several years of adjustment, grappling with identity beyond sport, and leveraging the athletic network for opportunities while learning to operate in the more feedback-driven, non-meritocratic business world.
25: Meet Tom King, Olympic Champion and Chief Investment Officer of Nanuk Asset Management
Q: Hi, Tom. Welcome to the Finance Friends Podcast. How are you today?
I'm good. Thank you.
31: Re-Run - Meet Vas Piperoglou: Markets, Discipline, and the Power of Patience
Q: What are the most successful skills for Vaz in his role?
Cutting through noise to enable focused thinking, maintaining conviction, and continuously studying history—economic, company, and personal history—to improve decision-making.
31: Re-Run - Meet Vas Piperoglou: Markets, Discipline, and the Power of Patience
Q: What has been the journey to becoming CIO and co-founder at Collins Street Asset Management?
A path of self-education starting with stock picking at a young age, building experience in boutique asset management, and eventually forming Collins Street Asset Management to run long-only value funds.
