About this episode

Look for companies with a "positive growth gap".


That is the message from today's expert, Frank Thormann, Portfolio Manager at Schroders.


Using plenty of real stock examples, we unpack Frank's process to understand:

  • What he means by 'positive growth gaps'
  • How he identifies moments where sentiment and business reality diverge
  • Managing position sizes and portfolio construction
  • Frank's contrarian view on AI and where he sees opportunity
  • What we're missing by not focusing on Europe
  • How changing holding times create opportunities for patient investors
