Quotes[09:33] ~ “If I was to put it purely in financial terms, to me risk is the permanent loss of purchasing power over the contemplated investment time horizon. So, it’s that permanent, and substantial, loss of capital. We measure that not just in terms of the dollar amount that we start with, but the purchasing power of that. That’s not been a relevant distinction in the last twenty or thirty years of low inflation, but I came of age in the 70s where your purchasing power might have been degrading 13-15% a year. So, we really think about that idea of the degradation of purchasing power, overtime, as really sort of the central tenant when we make an investment decision…” ~ Chris Davis[33:41] ~ “I think this march of technology in financial services is super exciting. My prediction in the short-term, and I’ll say short to mid-term - in the next five years, is that it makes the largest companies more valuable and more profitable. It increases scale advantages, which didn’t exist in financial services for most of the last fifty years, there’s real scale advantages now…longer term I think there may be bigger risk [though].” ~ Chris DavisLinksDavis Advisors on LinkedIn“Gotta Serve Somebody” (Cover) - Muscle Shoals FundraiserDavis FundsConnect with UsMeet Rusty Vanneman, Orion’s Chief Investment OfficerCheck Out All of Orion’s PodcastsPower Your Growth with OrionDisclosure(s)Wealth Management services are offered by Orion Portfolio Solutions, LLC d/b/a Brinker Capital Investments a registered investment advisor.
