The illusion of diversification with Alison Savas from Orbis Investments

Many investors believe exposure to several managers makes them diversified. Orbis Investments' Alison Savas argues the reality is less comfortable. In this episode, Savas explains how passive investing has hardwired yesterday's winners into tomorrow's portfolios, why concentration in global equity indices is at 30-year highs, and why great businesses do not always make great investments. The conversation also covers where Orbis finds value in unloved corners of healthcare and software, the rotation already underway in AI-related names, and how advisers can add genuine diversification to a portfolio without leaving listed equities. This podcast is for education and entertainment purposes, and is intended for industry professionals, financial advisers and wholesale investors.
