Current investment opportunity

As a former corporate transactional Wall Street lawyer and later a chief compliance officer in the pharmaceutical industry, I know first hand that these roles, and others involving risk management, can foster risk aversion. In my experience, I’ve found #lawyers, whether currently practicing or not, to be among the most risk averse investors whose professional training can sometimes be an impediment to their taking advantage of potential investment opportunities presented to them. There’s a difference between asking thoughtful intelligent questions to help demystify or elucidate an investment opportunity, versus asking questions to feel better about your natural inclination to forgo an investment opportunity. In raising capital I’ve found that the best investors are those who have taken the time to educate themselves so they can comfortably make an informed decision as to whether a particular investment is right for them or not. What’s interesting to sometimes see is that the same person who might heavily scrutinize a private real estate investment and its sponsoring team, might also buy a publicly traded stock with little to no due diligence on the company’s business plan, performance outlook, or management team. Many people investing in individual stocks are often selecting stocks based on the general popularity or recognition of an underlying product or service. This investment approach can lead to buying Blackberry stock because their phones appear to be popular. If you’re looking for a reason NOT to make an investment, you will always find at least one.

Negotiation Skills for Investment Managers: Aligning Stakeholder Interests As an investment manager with over 20 years of experience, I've learned that one of the most crucial skills in our industry is the ability to effectively negotiate and align the interests of various stakeholders. Whether it's working with portfolio companies, investors, or other members of the investment team, strong negotiation skills are essential for driving successful outcomes. One of the key challenges in stakeholder negotiations is navigating the often-competing priorities and objectives of different parties. In my experience, the most effective approach is to focus on finding common ground and creating win-win solutions. This requires active listening, empathy, and a willingness to compromise when necessary. Another critical aspect of successful negotiation is building trust and credibility with stakeholders. This means being transparent, following through on commitments, and consistently demonstrating expertise and integrity. When stakeholders feel that their interests are being heard and respected, they are more likely to engage in productive negotiations. Throughout my career, I've had the opportunity to put these negotiation skills into practice in a variety of contexts. From restoring a portfolio company facing insolvency to leading the successful divestiture of multiple assets, I've seen firsthand the impact that effective negotiation can have on investment outcomes. As investment managers, we have a responsibility to not only deliver strong financial returns but also to consider the broader impact of our decisions on all stakeholders involved. By honing our negotiation skills and working to align stakeholder interests, we can drive more sustainable and successful investment outcomes over the long term. I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on this topic – let's connect and continue the conversation. #NegotiationSkills   #StakeholderEngagement   #InvestmentManagement   #Sustainability #LeadershipSkills

I chatted with the VP of Investment Strategy at an $83B national wealth management firm. Here’s how he thinks about quantitative vs. qualitative as a due diligence expert. >> 𝗛𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 Love a sports analogy? 🏈 Try this one on for size. He and his colleagues have to go out and find the best athletes—but they also have to build the best team. And sometimes? The second-best athlete is a better fit for your team than the superstar. >> 𝗤𝘂𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗯𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 When he’s looking at managers, he’s relying on past performance to analyze a track record. He’s thinking, what have you been able to deliver in the past? Is it better than most? And why do we want to go take a look at it? >> 𝗙𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 Beyond track record, he digs into alllll sorts of qualitative questions: ↪ Who are the people that built that track record? ↪ Are they still there? ↪ Are they people we want to partner with? ↪ Do they have a support system around them that allows them to focus on the investment side and not have to worry about keeping a roof over their head and paying employees every day? ↪ Are the key decision makers really being compensated for the track record they developed ... and hopefully the track record they're going to continue to deliver for our clients? At one point in his career, he was doing 450 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙚𝙧 𝙢𝙚𝙚𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙖 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧 😳 So, yeah, he knows a thing or two about Bigs and boutiques—plus some challenges and incredible opportunities.
