Description

In this episode, Patrick Hargreaves, CEO of AKO Capital and PM of the AKO Capital Global Fund, is in discussion with Eloise Goulder, head of the Data Assets and Alpha Group. Patrick discusses the rationale for the quality investment philosophy at AKO Capital and the 'patterns of quality' the team look to identify to source these companies (as articulated in their 2016 Quality Investing book). He also lays out the five specialized teams who work alongside the analysts on market research, forensic accounting, behavioral analysis, data science and sustainability. Finally, Patrick highlights where machine learning and LLM tools can be additive in their processes, and where the role of the human, and of judgement, remains critical.
