I work alone in my office, no analysts, no assistants. I am a one man show and intend to stay that way. I have organized myself this way as it frees me to focus all my energy on capital allocation rather than managing staff. The performance of the portfolio (good or bad) is solely my responsibility, not dispersed among a sea of analysts. This ensures total transparency and accountability between my clients and I.
This is not to say that working with analysts or staff is wrong, it just suits me to do this by myself. Investing is hard enough with my own biases, I feel it would be harder with an added layer of coworker biases. At the end of the day I know that buy or sell, the call is mine alone and I can live with that.
