We Study Billionaires - The Investor’s Podcast
Guest
On today’s episode, Clay is joined by François Rochon to discuss how he’s managed to vastly outperform the market over the past 30 years. Since he started the Rochon Global Portfolio in 1993, his annual returns net of fees have been 13.6%, versus 9.2% for the benchmark.
François’s investment approach is firmly rooted in three principles — patience, humility, and rationality — which are discussed in depth during this conversation.
