My guest on the show today is Heather Brilliant, the CEO of publicly traded company, Diamond Hill Investment Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: DHIL). Heather became CEO in 2019 after putting together an enviable resume of experiences at other investment firms. As of the most recent quarter, Diamond Hill had about $26 billion of assets under management, but still considers itself a boutique firm. In this holistic conversation, we discussed: Heather’s experience becoming CEO right before the world shut down due to COVID; Diamond Hill’s unique capital allocation strategy as relates to returning cash to shareholders; How the firm differentiates its strategies despite lots of competitors offering similar products; The avenues available for the company to continue to build is AUM base; and The concept of building a brand within investment management. For full disclosure, I am not a Diamond Hill shareholder.
