It’s ingrained in human DNA to back the winners. Winners present the safer bet and offer investors safety and security. But as contrarian investors we do the opposite; we ‘zig’ when others ‘zag’.

Sudhir illustrates this with a company that has faced some major headwinds that we believe should blow over, thus offering long-term value for our clients. Watch now.
