Episode 067: Inside the Mind of a Rising Fund Manager – with Bridger Pennington
Manage episode 350195725 series 2933812
What does it take to be a successful Fund Manager?
It’s a multi-part answer that includes understanding macro-economics, the ability to raise capital, entrepreneurial skills, and lots of specialized knowledge about your specific asset class.
That’s a LOT to navigate, so it helps having a dad who co-founded a $40B family of funds (yes… that’s Billion with a “B”!).
What did he learn while growing up?
What current events and geopolitical issues is he fascinated by… and has him the most concerned?
Where are the pockets of opportunity in today’s economy… and how is he mitigating risk?
We dive into all that and more!
Here’s just a sample of what we discuss:
- What his dad taught Bridger and his brothers during family dinners (he points to this daily ritual as probably the single most impactful activity a family could have!)
- The “talk” his dad had with him that made him an independent thinker and changed his life (at age 11!).
- The China debt crisis and what it means for the worldwide economy.
- How to U.S. really became a world “Super Power”.
- Bridger’s Asset Allocation Formula to mitigate downside risk when investing.
- How to invest in a shifting market.
- Habits, rituals, and routines that keep Bridger tuned up and energized to “seize the day”.
- Much, much more!
