The Effort Edge: Parallels in Sport and Investing – featuring Ryan Myerberg

In the third episode of Thinking Aloud, Business Development Director Harry Jebb is joined by Global Fixed Income Portfolio Manager Ryan Myerberg for a wide-ranging conversation on sport, investing and the dynamics of high-performing teams. Ryan reflects on the lessons he has drawn from elite sport and explores how effort, humility, resilience and collective ambition translate into investing. He discusses what it takes to build a team capable of managing an unconstrained fixed income strategy, why diverse perspectives matter in avoiding echo chambers, and how challenge and trust can improve portfolio outcomes.Their conversation also examines how fixed income investors navigate moments of market stress, make conviction calls when the future is uncertain, and balance strategic views with shorter-term opportunities. Throughout, Ryan returns to a central idea: successful investing is not about the individual, but about disciplined teamwork in pursuit of client outcomes.---The views expressed are those of the author and Brown Advisory as of the date referenced and are subject to change at any time based on market or other conditions.
