The world is an interesting place nowadays that is impacted by a wide variety of global factors including social media, technology and other elements we have no control over. And similar to how the most innovative solutions that power the world today came about, those companies had a strategy initially then adapted over time based on the data/insights they were seeing in the moment.
We take an approach aimed at listening, learning and adapting with the times because every scenario for an investor operating on a large scale (hedge fund, private equity firm, etc.) will be different based on their particular goals, existing portfolio along with the capital in reserves that can be deployed in strategic ways and at the right times.
Implementing a disciplined approach that removes emotion and instead draws from the data – why the scientific method and taking that approach is so critical. And also an area where many investors end up losing in the end because they let their emotions get the best of them instead of relying on the data/analytics right in front of them.
For example, think about dreaming of visiting one of the best restaurants in the world then having the executive chef curate dishes but you didn’t tell them you have a peanut/shellfish allergy beforehand – that epic experience can go south very fast, and the same applies to investing with emotions versus actual data.
Our Founder/CEO, Puneet Rastogi, will be covering more on this topic in a new series of blogs aimed at taking a data-driven approach to investing that uses the classic and proven scientific method approach to deploying capital as opposed to what we personally feel, heard at the country club, from friends/associates, etc.
