Talaria CEO Jamie Mead recently spoke with Duncan Hughes for Investor Strategy News on a wide range of topics including the threat to diversification caused by the huge popularity of index funds, growing exposure to less transparent and largely unregulated private markets, and the need of retirees for reliable income from their retirement nest eggs.
“Liquidity is just one factor, as there is also the need for decorrelated income, which is earned from sources other than dividends and helps investors meet their living needs, which is particularly important during market downturns,” he says.
“This allows investors to receive income without drawing only on their capital base or relying on companies to pay dividends when that isn’t always reliable or consistent,” Jamie says.
Jamie is the Chief Executive Officer and co-Founder of Talaria Asset Management.
After completing a Master of Engineering, Jamie recognised that the same problem-solving and analytical skills fundamental to engineering could be applied in financial markets. He began his career in investment banking, joining Morgan Stanley’s London Graduate Program before moving to Goldman Sachs.
Jamie later transitioned to the buy-side, joining Deephaven Capital Management, a large US-headquartered multi-strategy hedge fund. In 2009, he became part of the core team that launched Tyrus Capital, a multibillion-dollar global equities fund that was one of the largest hedge fund launches in Europe at the time. Through his tenure, Tyrus earned multiple awards for both investment performance and business excellence.
In 2015, Jamie relocated to Australia, where he co-founded Talaria Asset Management.
