Manage episode 327482137 series 3262791
There's a lot of noise in the investment space—raving pundits, extreme headlines, and financial advertisements—and investors are susceptible. Long-term success requires learning to tune it out.
This week’s guest is William Spitz, the highly decorated former Treasurer and Vice Chancellor for Investments at Vanderbilt University and co-founder and principal of Diversified Trust.
In this episode, Bill reflects on being immersed in environments of influential and innovative financial thinkers during his MBA at the University of Chicago and in the intercollegiate, collaborative atmosphere of his early years of endowment investing at Vanderbilt. He provides a glimpse of the tremendous ten-fold growth of Vanderbilt’s endowment assets during his 1985–2007 tenure, highlighting the funds that contributed to such staggering growth.
Bill and Eric dive into evolving corporate values and the current supply chain crisis. Speaking on personal investing, Bill provides essential advice on harnessing your own knowledge and embracing tinkering while trusting your portfolio. Listen in to learn how Bill manages his own portfolio after his award-winning success in endowment asset management.
