Expert: Beeneet Kothari - Why we're still early on China and Crypto
Season 5, Ep. 434
•
Beeneet Kothari is the Managing Partner and Principal Portfolio Manager of Tekne Capital Manager, a global fund manager he founded in 2012. Beeneet is part of this year’s Sohn Hearts & Minds Investment Leaders Conference, which is now in its 6th year. If you haven't heard of Sohn Hearts and Minds before, the conference is one EM's favourite events in the investing calendar, where 12 local and international fund managers pitch their highest conviction stocks. This year, the conference moves online, and the headliner is Charlie Munger, from Berkshire Hathaway. As Bryce says, 'you can't really get much bigger than that'.
The associated listed investment company, Hearts & Minds Investments Limited (ASX: HM1), invests in a portfolio of high conviction stocks including those pitched at the conference. In lieu of management fees, HM1 donates 1.5% of its NTA to Australian medical research each year. All conference proceeds are donated to Australian medical research. Tickets are $500 but we're lucky enough to offer 50 tickets to our Equity Mates community at 20% off - so only $400. Click here, and use the code: equitymates
