Learning more about public investing?
I’ve been getting a lot of outreach recently from headhunters about roles at crossover fund - I’ve spent most of my time in growth buyouts in tech/software. Have looked at take privates in the past. I’m curious to learn more about what it’s like on the crossover side of things. What’s the best way to learn about public market investing? Any good books/blogs/resources folks recommend on how to think about public market stocks?
Based on the most helpful WSO content, if you're looking to deepen your understanding of public market investing, especially transitioning from a background in growth buyouts in tech/software, here are several resources that can be immensely beneficial:
Books by Influential Investors: Consider reading materials from renowned investors like Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch, and Joel Greenblatt. Their books and letters, such as "The Intelligent Investor" by Benjamin Graham, "One Up On Wall Street" by Peter Lynch, and "The Little Book That Beats the Market" by Joel Greenblatt, provide foundational knowledge and investing philosophies that are crucial for public market investing.
Investment Blogs and Websites: Websites like ValueWalk and Market Folly offer insights into the strategies of current market players and analysis of public equities. These platforms often discuss contemporary market trends and provide case studies on successful investment strategies.
Educational Platforms: The Columbia Business School Value Investing Program offers extensive materials and resources that can be beneficial. Although direct enrollment might be required for full access, some lectures and resources are available online.
Investor Letters and Reports: Reading historical 13Fs of major hedge fund managers and annual letters from investment firms can provide insights into the investment decisions and strategies of successful investors.
Online Courses and Webinars: Platforms like Coursera, Udemy, or even specific financial education providers offer courses on stock market basics, advanced equity analysis, and investment strategies.
Financial News and Publications: Regularly following major financial news outlets like WSJ, CNBC, Bloomberg, and others can help you stay updated on market conditions, investor sentiments, and economic factors influencing the markets.
These resources will not only help you understand the fundamental and technical aspects of public market investing but also offer practical insights and strategies used by leading investors.
