IGNATIUS MWAPE

What characterizes a good investor

  • one who combines passionate curiosity with the relentless persuit of truth. Integrating a diverse set of information to gain insights. Creatively connect and relate data. Continuously accumulate knowledge. Be a learning machine.
  • a safe and supportive organizational culture is essential. It thrives on open disagreement, collaborative learning from failures and successes and mutual care. Cultivating this environment requires collectively effort but ultimately elevates an organisation beyond the individual’s contributions.
  • one with a good strategy, really understands the market, really understands your portfolio, why the stuff you do makes sense. Secondly, execution.
  • confident enough to follow your conviction and take contrarian bets, going against market consensus because popular opinion is not always correct. However, beware of your ego. Be open enough and humble to change your mind when you information appears.
