Neil Rose and Kawika Shoji discuss the various strategies at Regency Capital and how they have done in the first three years of the firm.

Neil Rose gives candid responses to common client questions that Kawika Shoji has received in these past weeks.

It was a great year at Regency Capital. For me personally, I am learning, we are growing, and we continue to look for ways to improve. Part of this growth is to continually evaluate (kaizen) how we do things, our processes, and make sure we provide the value that clients deserve, value that also distinguishes us from competitors.

Kawika Shoji discusses the importance of Nassim Nicholas Taleb’s concept of Skin in the Game and the power of identifying incentives and (often hidden) asymmetries.

As humans, we are not emotionally equipped to handle short term pain for long term gain. We are a fight-or-flight species, after all, seeking immediate gratification and immediate relief. Successful investing, like a lot of things in life, requires us to disobey our biology and animal brains.
