About the series
Far From The Finishing Post is a podcast hosted by Tom Yeowart, Deputy Head of Research, and George Viney, co-manager of Troy’s Global Equity strategy. As the name suggests, we believe that investing is an ongoing pursuit with no finishing line in sight. There is always lots to learn and plenty of ways to improve as investors.
In that spirit, Far From The Finishing Post seeks to explore the thoughts and practices of leading investors in an effort to grow our collective knowledge. Episodes will include discussions with fund managers at Troy and the talented external investors.
We plan to publish an episode each month. Please subscribe on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
