When volatility strikes, investors invariably become more reflexive and less disciplined. But investing with reckless abandon is almost certainly going to lead to bad outcomes.
Experienced investors stick to the game plan - a game plan borne of experience and a process that's been tried and tested through the full business cycle.
On today’s episode of The Rules of Investing, David Thornton sits down with Matt Williams from Airlie Funds Management.
Matt cut his teeth in 1993 when he joined Perpetual Investments as an equities dealer. That was followed by 17 years at Perpetual, working alongside heavy hitters including Anton Tagliaferro, Peter Morgan, and John Sevior. There he held the role of head of equities from 2011 to 2015. He joined Airlie in 2016, with a remit that includes Australian share strategies for institutional clients and the Airlie Australian Share Fund for retail clients.
This year, Matt was recognised as one of the best in the business and inducted into the Hall of Fame, joining a small and distinguished list of Australia’s best fundies (including the three Perpetual alumni mentioned above).
Matt explains why the Aussie market has fared better than its global peers, where valuations are and where they're going, and the one Aussie company Matt reckons is made for Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio.
