Today we’re joined by Eric Marais, Investment Specialist at Orbis Investments.

The past decade has been tough for stock pickers. Active managers have struggled to keep up with the index, particularly in the US, as Big Tech pushed ever-higher and a flood of money flowed into passive ETFs. Our guest today thinks that some of these trends are reversing.

We speak to Eric about:

• The case for reducing exposure to US Big Tech
• Some counterintuitive ideas that form the basis of Orbis’ philosophy
• Why Eric believes animal spirits are back
• How we could be entering a stock pickers market
• Two stocks Eric finds interesting: Nintendo (TYO: 7974) and Corpay (NYSE: CPAY)
