We're excited to continue sharing our latest podcast in the Equity Mates network: Basis Points.

Basis Points is all about finding that small improvements that compound into big outcomes. Built for financial advisers, but accessible for everyone, we hope Basis Points can be a resource for those looking to constantly find ways to improve.

We're pleased to share that all launch Basis Points episodes have been accredited by the Financial Advice Association of Australia (FAAA) for CPD points.

Today we’re joined by Eric Marais, Investment Specialist at Orbis Investments.

The past decade has been tough for stock pickers. Active managers have struggled to keep up with the index, particularly in the US, as Big Tech pushed ever-higher and a flood of money flowed into passive ETFs. Our guest today thinks that some of these trends are reversing.

We speak to Eric about:

The case for reducing exposure to US Big Tech
Some counterintuitive ideas that form the basis of Orbis’ philosophy
Why Eric believes animal spirits are back
How we could be entering a stock pickers market
Two stocks Eric finds interesting: Nintendo (TYO: 7974) and Corpay (NYSE: CPAY)
