It was a great pleasure to sit down and chat with Chris Titley on the Fundamental podcast by Morgans Financial Limited. One question Chris asked was what advice would you give to anyone who wants to start out as a fund manager? My advice was if you want to be a fund manager because you think you are smarter than the market… welcome! Just not at Ophir, because I will make money off you. The reality is funds management is like anything.. of course you need some natural ability, but NOTHING outplays hard work. I remember a story when I was playing club Australian Football. A guy who played juniors at my club and later became an AFL premiership player, captain and All Australian was not the best player growing up. The reason he got to the heights was simple.. he worked harder than the guys standing next to me. What matters in funds management is hard work AND grit to get you through the bad times. We have no super powers at Ophir. But we do make a commitment to each other to maximise our inputs. It starts everyday getting an hours head start on our competitors by getting into the office before 7!
