Summary

My guest on the show this week is Jake Barfield, the founder of Asheville Capital Management, a long-only investment firm that seeks to invest in world-class companies before they are broadly recognized as such. Jake is also the host of his own podcast, Quality Investing. In this informative episode, we covered: The founding inspiration for Asheville; The type of companies that Jake is NOT going to invest in; Position sizing and concentration; What Jake finds so interesting about a company called InPost; and Why he decided to start his own podcast.
