In our second episode of this season, Douglas Isles interviews a very special guest who, as co-founder, was there at the origin of Platinum Asset Management almost three decades ago, and whose investment philosophy is the inspiration behind the Investing for Life podcast – Kerr Neilson. Kerr shares a rare insight into his life growing up, how his father’s business challenges shaped his views on entitlement and hard work, learning the difference between luck and competitive advantage in investing, and how insecurities and the drive to win led to the creation of Platinum.    Full of honesty, wisdom and ‘learning opportunities’, this discussion is as insightful for investors as it is for anyone looking to build a successful business. As Kerr explains, success comes from continuous improvement and not being wedded to old ideas, especially your own. In his words: “If you are open to criticism and if you are open to new ideas, you progressively get better.”   Listen to this conversation to: - Learn where Kerr’s ability to find ‘unexpected’ value in the market came from, and why he believes awareness of any fashion is crucial to inform your own investment position; - Hear how lessons learned from analysing others’ businesses helped shape his own approach to improving Platinum; - Hear what Kerr believes are the two most important qualities candidates can have in an unpredictable market;  - Gain an insight on his views on the current market and what lies ahead for the unprepared investor; and  Discover what Kerr feels is the single most important driver for any business to succeed.

Kerr Neilson, Co-founder @ Platinum Asset Management.

Kerr Neilson is one of Australia's greatest investors. He is someone a lot of our listeners won't be familiar with, but hopefully after this episode you will be. In a new series - Meet the Investor - we have picked out some clips from Kerr's interviews that we'll play and discuss.The purpose of this episode, and episodes like it, is to introduce some of Australia's greatest investors to our listeners. For while everyone knows Warren Buffett, other great investors aren't too well known, especially those from outside America. We think that is a shame - as there is a lot of knowledge and experience we can all learn from if we know where to look.So we hope you enjoy the first of our Meet the Investor series. Please let us know if there is a particular investor you want us to profile in the future.
