Complexity Investing & Semiconductors (with NZS Capital)
Complexity Investing & Semiconductors (with NZS Capital)  
Podcast: Acquired
Published On: Wed Nov 03 2021
Description: Of our 65+ sources for the TSMC episode, one stood above the rest: a wonderful Knowledge Project episode with Brinton Johns and Jon Bathgate of NZS Capital laying out the state of the semiconductor market. When coincidentally we met Brinton a week later, we knew fate was telling us we had to dig deeper. It turns out NZS has a lot more to teach Acquired than just about semis! Here we dive into their fascinating philosophy of "complexity investing", which was born out of their interactions with the world-famous Santa Fe Institute (of W. Brian Arthur and Increasing Returns fame!)... and of course we also throw in some semiconductor shop-talk for good measure. :)Sponsors:ServiceNow: https://bit.ly/acqsnaiagentsHuntress: https://bit.ly/acqhuntressVanta: https://bit.ly/acquiredvantaMore Acquired!:Get email updates with hints on next episode and follow-ups from recent episodesJoin the SlackSubscribe to ACQ2Merch Store!© Copyright 2015-2024 ACQ, LLCLinks:NZS Capital: https://www.nzscapital.comThe Santa Fe Institute: https://www.santafe.eduNZS's white paper on Complexity Investing:  https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5ca38f3216b6405d11e3d4b4/t/60131df6a8d27d63432ea5ff/1611865607574/Complexity_2021update-v9pt2.pdfBrinton & Jon on The Knowledge Project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6NUO_bymuATwitter: Brinton: https://twitter.com/bjohns3Jon: https://twitter.com/jbathgateBrad: https://twitter.com/bradsling ‍Note: Acquired hosts and guests may hold assets discussed in this episode.
