In this episode, we're diving deeper into the Majedie Investment Trust, with a special focus on a unique part of the portfolio — special investments. Joining us is Arjun Menon from Marylebone Partners, the trust’s investment advisor. Arjun breaks down what special investments are, how they’re sourced, and why they play a crucial role in delivering high-conviction, high-return opportunities — all while maintaining the trust’s commitment to liquidity and risk management. We’ll also hear about two real-world examples from the portfolio: 📈 An activist play in US restaurant chain Portillo’s, 💼 And a credit-focused opportunity involving Metro Bank’s bonds. Whether you're an experienced investor or just curious about how institutional-grade deals are put together, this episode offers valuable insights into how a blend of external managers, direct equities, and special investments creates a truly distinctive strategy.
