New tools, old habits: Investing in the age of AI
In the latest episode of The Allan Gray Podcast, Allan Gray Institutional Clients manager Horacia Naidoo-McCarthy is joined by Simon Skinner, director and head of Orbis’ Global Investment team, for a conversation about technology, decision-making and the search for investment insights.

The conversation also explores why independent thinking may become even more valuable in a world overflowing with information and competing narratives.
