After researching hundreds of companies, I’ve realized that the hardest part of investing is finding capable management teams.

That’s why I now try to speak with management early—before committing to deep research.

I’ve lost count of how many cheap, high-quality businesses I’ve passed on simply because they were run by poor capital allocators.

In my view, even a great business becomes a bad investment in the wrong hands.

Think about it: in many cases, all they need to do is return capital to shareholders. Instead, they choose to reinvest at low IRRs.
