In this episode, I speak with Victor Haghani, a Seasoned Financial Expert whose journey through the realms of high finance is nothing short of enlightening. Victor shares his rich history of Long-Term Capital Management. From his early days in New York and Iran to his pivotal roles at Salomon Brothers and finally to founding Elm Wealth. His insights into the evolution of his investment strategies, particularly his shift from high-stakes trading to a more sustainable, mindful approach to personal wealth management, are not just educational but deeply relatable. Victor's recent work, including his book "The Missing Billionaires," offers a fresh perspective on making sound financial decisions, which he discusses with a clarity that resonates well beyond the finance-savvy audience.
The conversation dives into the practicalities of investing, the common pitfalls of financial decision-making, and the psychological aspects that often trip up even the most astute investors. Victor's approach to simplifying complex financial concepts and his emphasis on learning from past investment outcomes make this discussion a must-listen for anyone looking to navigate the often turbulent waters of personal finance. His personal anecdotes, combined with a straightforward breakdown of investment principles, provide a roadmap that encourages a more thoughtful, disciplined approach to managing money.
Join us as we discuss actionable advice that promises to empower you to take control of your financial future with confidence and a newfound understanding.

Tweetable Quotes
"You can't get return without taking risk, but you can have risk without getting return. Realizing that if somebody turns up and says, 'Here's a 20% investment return with virtually no risk,' you should know that that clock is broken. That's not the way that markets work."
"Humility for markets and respect for markets are essential. Every time you pick a stock or own a portfolio that's not the market portfolio, there's somebody saying they have the opposite belief to you, and that person is likely smarter or more informed than you are."
"The recent past is not a guide to what's going to happen in the future. Return chasing, thinking that what has been hot will continue to be hot, often leads to poor investment decisions. It's important to look forward and not just rely on what has happened."
