If I were to summarise my experience, it would be "Investing is easy, investing other people's money is even easier. Making money is difficult, and making superior returns consistently is extremely difficult". I have been very fortunate to deliver market leading returns to my investors. I would attribute that success to a) Deep expertise of the sector b) Amazing team and c) Strong conviction
