In the latest episode of Dakota Live!, we are excited to feature Chris Tessin, Founder and Managing Partner of Acuitas Investments. Chris serves as Chief Investment Officer and Lead Portfolio Manager of the Small and Microcap portfolios. Chris and his team are recognized as industry leaders in investment manager research and multi-manager portfolio management, focusing on those markets they believe are inherently less efficient.
Our conversation covers the inherent inefficiencies that exist within certain global equity markets, and how Acuitas harnesses the expertise of its investment managers to exploit these inefficiencies to the fullest. With a wealth of experience behind them, Acuitas has honed the art of identifying premiere investment managers who can navigate these complex waters.
One of the key features discussed in the interview is the importance of early life-cycle, high conviction investment managers. Chris sheds light on how these managers provide distinct advantages in a constantly evolving investment landscape. Along the way, Chris touches upon the significance of transparent pricing, proper resourcing, and aligned interests to mitigate issues around early-stage investments in the emerging manager space. Tune in to gain invaluable insights into Acuitas' innovative approach to investment management and their dedication to client success.
This episode is a must-watch for anyone interested in the entrepreneurial mindset, asset allocation, global micro, and small cap equity management, or simply looking to broaden their institutional financial knowledge from a veteran allocator. Tune in to gain valuable insights into the mindset of an investment leader and founder who understands the significance of selecting investment managers in the most inefficient areas of global markets.
