Investment Community #16

Richard Pitt, CEO and PM at BlueAlpha Investment Management, was my special guest on the Investment Community podcast.

In this episode (part 2 of 2), Richard tells how:

* Frequent trading is not a good way to invest, and it’s a terrible way to live.

* Articulation of your investment approach is vital - allocators need to have a clear idea of what they’re buying because they’re building portfolios of exposures.

* Ultimately your competitive advantage might boil down to: knowing who you are, investing in a way that’s consonant with who you are, and sticking to your approach through the tough times.

Richard Pitt is CEO and portfolio manager at BlueAlpha Investment Management. He began his investment career in 1995 as an equity analyst at Old Mutual Asset Managers. After a short stint as a portfolio manager at Brait Asset Management, Richard became co-manager of Decillion Capital’s Big Rock hedge fund. He relocated to London with Decillion and co-managed their US/European hedge fund. He joined BlueAlpha in 2003 and his primary focus is global investing.
