Buy What You Can Predict with Joseph Shaposhnik, Portfolio Manager of the TCW New Americas Premier Equities Fund

My guest on the show today is Joseph Shaposhnik, the portfolio manager of the TCW New Americas Premier Equities Fund. Joseph began managing the fund in 2015 and since then has assembled a concentrated portfolio of mostly US mid-to-large-cap stocks. Morningstar currently has a 4-star rating on the fund, which consists of a collection of high quality, recurring revenue businesses. In this conversation, we covered:

• Why predictability of cash flows is so important to Joseph;
• The rationale for having a heavy weighting in Constellation Software;
• What he has learned about assessing management through his relationship with successful CEOs;
• Why all recurring revenue businesses are not created equally; and
• Why a company like Meta doesn’t make the cut to be in his portfolio
