We Study Billionaires - The Investor’s Podcast
Guest
On today’s episode, Clay is joined by Andrew Brenton. Andrew Brenton is the CEO and a co-founder of Turtle Creek.
Since it’s inception in 1998, Turtle Creek has acheived an average annual return of 20% versus just 7% for the market. $10,000 invested into their fund at inception would have grown to over $885,000 as of September 30, 2023, and had that money been invested in the market, it would have been worth just under $52,000.
