PIWORLD interview with Jeremy McKeown - Investing in Hypernormal Times
Friday Nov 12, 2021
Friday Nov 12, 2021
Jeremy gives us his views on the ‘hypernormal’ economic world we are living in today; taken from the Adam Curtis documentary, ‘HyperNormalisation’. (https://youtu.be/AUiqaFIONPQ). Jeremy speaks like an economic historian, drawing from different eras of different economic policies. We discuss QE and monetary policy, which he feels has neutered the banking industry. With inflation, he draws analogies with the 40s and 50s rather than the 70s. Jeremy gives his view where he’s investing his own money, accepting investors are being asked to take more risk to see a return on their savings. He favours equities, especially compounders with good free cash flow. Google is the largest position in his portfolio. However, he believes all portfolios deserve some real asset exposure, he holds single Scotch Malt Whiskey and bitcoin! We discuss today’s innovators, where he cites of course Google, but at the smaller end, Aquis Exchange #AQX. We close on his views of 'value' versus 'growth' investing. Bubbling with brilliance, educational and entertaining.

About Jeremy:
Jeremy has worked in the UK equity market for four decades, he has met and interacted with all types of investors. He has met countless companies and read widely on different investment topics. He has invested in a variety of companies and implemented differing strategies, sometimes successfully, other times disastrously. He is now looking to use his experience, knowledge and world view to make better decisions about his own investments. He would also like to help other investors and companies to make better decisions about the world we inhabit, to learn and disseminate new ideas, avoid unnecessary risk and hopefully to help keep a positive perspective on what at times appears to be a chaotic and dysfunctional place.

David gives a stream of consciousness, with his views on economic growth, interest rates, the Governor of the Bank of England, taxes, Government policy, and the relationship between the Bank of England and the Treasury. With COP26 being held earlier this week, he believes the Government have to set unachievable goals to make change happen. Finally he shares where he’ll be investing his money with this macro backdrop. He likes property and equities, especially tech, healthcare and biotech. He thinks Japan is interesting, but will avoid gold, commodities and bitcoin; he likes to sleep easily at night!
