Produced by Sound And Sounds What we have realised along this journey is that the way we invest (approach), why we invest (philosophy) and when we invest and divest (tombstones) differs radically from some of our co-investors.

Produced by Sound And Sounds “ I have learned the truth about the world: that it isn’t as round as a tennis ball, and it isn’t shaped like itself.

For my father, who never became what he hoped to be, and who never got to see what his children would one day become.”
