Expert Investor: Rory Lucas - Investing with Purpose

Equity Mates Investing Podcast

Happy 300th episode Equity Mates! We've got a special episode for you to mark this awesome milestone.

Rory Lucas may have the best job in Australian finance. As the Chief Investment Officer of Hearts & Minds Investments, he is responsible for taking some of the best ideas from the greatest investors in Australia and around the world and managing them in a listed investment company (ASX: HM1).

Hearts & Minds Investments is a unique listed investment company. It has been set up to support a variety of different charitable causes in Australia. The way it works? Every year, the best investors in Australia pitch their best investment ideas at the Sohn Hearts & Minds Investment Leaders Conference. Rory takes these ideas, invests in them through HM1 and instead of taking a management fee, every year 1.5% of the fund's assets under management are donated to charity.

This year the 2020 Sohn Hearts & Minds conference is taking place on 13 November 2020, so we thought this was the perfect time to sit down with Rory and learn more about the Hearts & Minds conference and listed investment company.

• The story of how the Hearts & Minds Conference started

• The split of the Hearts & Minds portfolio between the core portfolio and conference portfolio
