In this episode, I had a really exciting conversation with one of the rockstar investment professionals I know, Obumneme Okonkwo. Obum is a private equity investment professional at one of Africa's largest investment firms, African Capital Alliance (ACA). We talked about his experience in private equity, his mindset shift from consulting to the private equity world, the current investment environment, a potential market downturn and outlook for the future. This was a really long episode, but the conversation was really insightful, so I decided not to make any edits / cuts. I hope you enjoy it.

In this episode, I explain why stock-picking or investing in specific securities is not an optimal investing strategy (compared to investing in ETFs), especially for individual investors. I also talk through the individual securities in my portfolio and explain my rational for holding these securities, despite my position against stock picking.
