The Building Blocks of a 100-Bagger with Chris Mayer, Author of 100-Baggers

Our guest on the show this week was Chris Mayer, the Portfolio Manager of the Woodlock House Family Capital fund and the co-founder of the firm. He is also the author of 100 Baggers: Stocks That Return 100-to-1 and How To Find Them. You will notice that we are doing something a little different with this episode. Chris is our first guest who is not an executive at a public company. But, since this podcast is called Compounders: The Anatomy of a Multibagger, we thought it would be great to have on the guy who literally wrote the book on finding 100-baggers. In this wide-ranging interview, Chris and I discussed:

  • The common attributes of 100-baggers Chris found in his study of compounders;
  • The behavioral biases that make it hard for investors to realize a 100-bagger;
  • Why individual investors might be more likely than are institutional investors to get the full benefit of decades of compounding;
  • Where serial acquirers fit within the 100-bagger paradigm; and
  • Why high incremental returns on capital are so important to long-term success
