Why the Best Fund Manager of 2022 is Betting on Gold, Water, and Infrastructure

Episode 27 Published 10 months, 1 week ago
Description

The market may be laser-focused on Donald Trump’s trade war but James Davolos of Horizon Kinetics says tariffs or not, the tide is turning — and savvy investors should be paying attention. In this wide-ranging conversation, Davolos breaks down why we're leaving behind the "golden era" of ultra-low interest rates, globalization, and free capital, and entering a new investing regime marked by inflation, deglobalization, and resource scarcity. Davolos, who the WSJ named the best fund manager of 2022, outlines how to position your portfolio for long-term resilience, with a focus on capital-light businesses tied to real assets — think infrastructure, energy, and gold — but without the usual baggage of cyclicality and capex-heavy models. He explains his unique approach and offers specific stocks that fit into his model, including his top 3 stock picks focused on water as real asset, exchanges as financial infrastructure and royalty companies as resource winners.
