My guest on the show today is Mac Sykes, the Portfolio Manager of the Gabelli Financial Services Opportunities Fund. Mac has been with Gabelli for over 15 years and runs a portfolio that is focused on the financial services industry. We haven’t had many chances to discuss banks on this podcast. So, I was excited to speak with Mac about: - The major tailwinds he and his team believer are supporting the companies in the portfolio; - How technology is transforming and impacting the incumbents in the financial services industry; - The future of Berkshire Hathaway as we approach an inevitable change in leadership; - Portfolio construction and especially concentration; and - How the big money centers banks are positioned to weather the next credit cycle For more information about the Gabelli Financial Services Opportunities Fund, please visit: https://www.gabelli.com/funds/etfs/gabf Listen to all Compounders Podcast episodes on either Apple or Spotify iTunes: https://apple.co/3xlUvPY Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3jxkxLl All opinions expressed by your hosts and the podcast guests are solely their own opinions and do not reflect the opinion of SNN or its affiliates.
