He joined Oxy as an intern during his economics degree at Nova, spent two years at Bain in Spain, and returned to help build out the public book, which has grown from €20M of partner capital in December 2018 to over €100M today, compounding at roughly 20% net annualized.In this episode, Pedro explains how Oxy applies a private-equity approach to European small caps, five-year underwriting horizons, six-to-ten position concentration, and a sleeve of special situations covering spin-offs, asset-heavy liquidations, and partial M&A RemainCos. He walks through two current positions: The Gym Group, the UK's number two low-cost fitness chain, where he breaks down the local-monopoly unit economics of a single club; and Relais Group, the leading independent aftermarket player for commercial vehicles in the Nordics. He and David also discuss why European management teams get less inbound than US peers, how the team re-underwrites when a company misses expectations, and why Oxy hires undergraduates straight out of Portuguese universities✉️ Share your feedback - david@microcapclub.com✉️ David’s X (Twitter) - https://x.com/Valuehunte Chapters00:00 Introduction to Pedro Sousa and Oxy Capital04:15 Pedro's Journey into Investing07:07 Growth and Performance at Oxy Capital10:01 Investment Strategy: Private Equity Meets Public Markets12:58 Special Situations in Investing15:32 Team Dynamics and Investment Sourcing19:09 Market Dynamics: Public vs. Private Equity22:03 Case Studies: Successful Investments and Lessons Learned33:31 Understanding Gym Economics and Market Dynamics36:45 In-Depth Analysis of Relays Group46:54 Investment Re-Underwriting and Portfolio Management49:55 Recruitment Strategies and Talent Development54:09 Long-Term Investment Philosophy and Capital Management59:21 Future Aspirations and Closing ThoughtsDisclaimer: All content on this channel is for discussion, education, entertainment, and illustrative purposes only and SHOULD NOT be construed as professional financial advice, solicitation, or recommendation to buy or sell any securities, notwithstanding anything stated on this channel.
