Investment Q&A

Not investment advice or solicitation to buy/sell securities. Do your own due diligence and/or consult an advisor.

Q: You mentioned this before that you were investors in Ebix Inc. and have met management (and liked them) in the past.

There has been some recent positive news in the company on the verge of some major ventures/partnerships/contracts. On the latest quarterly meeting call, the CEO Robin Raina was very optimistic that significant and material wins are in the pipeline. With your experience with management in the past, can you speak about what was it about the CEO or Executive team that made you confident in their abilities (at that time)? And in general, what type of qualities do you look for management for you to feel good about investing in a company?

Q: I am looking for an addition to my US portfolio in the financial sector. I am inclined to add AIG for its valuation and positive outlook if and when interest rates come down. But also KKR looks interesting and got a rich dividend. I will appreciate your expert advise as to the best choice.
Thank you as usual for your excellent service.
