338: Who You Invest With Is More Important Than What You Invest In

When it comes to investing, there are always risks. Despite countless resources on how to vet operators and deals, the most important decision you’ll make is who you invest with.

The best operators have moral fiber, and as important,  successful track records, competence,  and an ability to adapt to changing circumstances on the ground.

Litan believes the operator is more important than the asset class or specific deal.
