Tom Slater is a partner and investment manager at Edinburgh-based investment firm Baillie Gifford. In this podcast interview, Motley Fool Chief Investment Officer Andy Cross talks with Slater about the keys to successful long-term investing.
Focusing on Upside Potential: Slater emphasizes the importance of focusing on the upside potential of companies rather than just focusing on potential risks.
Investing in Leaders: He highlights the importance of understanding the leadership in the companies that you are investing in.
Not Interrupting Compounding: He emphasizes the importance of not interrupting the power of compounding by selling winning stocks too early.
Slater explains that building the discipline to hold onto winners requires reframing how you think about investing. He suggests asking two key questions:
Only after answering these questions, he suggests, can one begin to consider valuation risk. Slater clarifies that even if a stock price has gone up, it may have gotten cheaper if the company's opportunity has grown faster.
Slater discusses how an organization's culture is one of the most important factors in identifying companies that can perform well over the long term. He asks, "Why do people turn up to work? What is it that they're trying to achieve?"
He also adds that how much skin in the game the managers have and how they are compensated matters.
Slater believes that e-commerce still has significant room to grow, particularly in emerging markets. He mentions MercadoLibre, Sea Limited, Coupang, and PDD as companies with strong growth potential.
