Michael Goldberg is the Founder & Portfolio Manager of the Collins St Value Fund, a funds management company based in Melbourne.Michael’s history as an investor and adviser culminated with the launch of their own fund in 2015. His style of investing can be characterised as high conviction and contrarian, meaning he and Vas back themselves into ideas that others would find uncomfortable.

Interview: Lawrence Lam - Lumenary Investment Management
Lawrence Lam is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Lumenary Investment Management, a boutique funds management business that invests solely in founder-run companies. Despite launching his fund in 2017 Lawrence has kept a very low profile, so I’m very glad I got this opportunity to speak with him.Lawrence is one of the brightest young thinkers I’ve come across. He is at ease blending mathematics, actuarial science, law, technology and investing into a concise thought and process. In this video and audio episode, Lawrence and I talk about his experience living with an entrepreneurial father, investment banking, inequality, valuation, turnarounds and, of course, the founder’s spirit. This is an episode I’ll listen to again, at least a few times.All show notes & resources: https://bit.ly/Lawrence-LamThe information in this podcast is general financial advice only.
