The art of the short

In this episode of the Portfolio Construction podcast, Paul O’Connor, Head of Investment at Netwealth, chats with Dmitry Solomakhin, Portfolio Manager of the Fidelity Global Long Short Fund.

Together they unpack Dmitry's contrarian value approach:

  • Investing in "unloved companies" he believes are mispriced
  • His disciplined approach to shorting stocks
  • His rigorous analysis to ensure the Fund aligns with his contrarian philosophy

They also examine the inherent risks of shorting, such as volatility and potential losses, and how these are mitigated through thoughtful portfolio construction and diversification.

Dmitry shares his perspective on the evolving artificial intelligence (AI) ecosystem including its practical applications, the potential risks associated with the current AI craze, and what it means for his stock selections.
