Who is my guest for this episode?
On episode 16 I have Dave Barr, the CEO of PenderFund Capital, as my guest. Dave is the co-chief investment officer at Pender and manages 4 investment portfolios. He was awarded the Lipper Award for best Small Cap Fund in Canada in 2015.
Why did I bring Dave onto the show?
I brought Dave onto to the show because I had the pleasure of working with him for 2 years prior to launching this podcast. In the two years I worked at PenderFund Capital, Dave instilled a lot of knowledge to me about the investing that I wouldn’t have had otherwise. I thought it would be useful to have him on the show to share some of wisdom with you.
Dave was awarded the Lipper Award in his category, which is the most prestigious investing award you can receive in Canada.
Dave is a regular guest on the Business News Network where he provides advice on Canada’s small cap technology stocks. He’s been featured in Canada’s top newspapers and has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to investing.
He’s passionate about his craft and having him on the show was an opportunity to share some of his expertise with you.
In this episode you will learn:
- Dave’s investment strategy
- Why you need to be adaptive because things aren’t going to go as planned in business
- The value of having a contrarian mindset
- Looking at investing from the standpoint of a business owner
- The importance of patience
“A lot of people will stick to a plan, go down a course for too long, where all the evidence is banging them over the head saying this isn’t going to work. You have to be very self-aware, you have to be honest and you have to evaluate the information, to know when it’s time to fold up shop or pivot into a new direction.”
- Dave Barr
