Today we're sharing our conversation with natural resource fund manager David Franklyn, covering as a whole host of the commodities and company's we love chatting about.Dave walks through how the fund navigated one of the wildest quarters on record, and where conviction sits today across a portfolio spanning copper, lithium, uranium, gold, and oil & gas.This episode goes deep into how capital is managed when volatility hits.In this conversation, David covers:
- Why Q2 Metals is unlikely to stay independent for long
- The offshore copper case: Faraday, Marimaca, and Arizona Sonoran vs the ASX alternatives
- ISO Energy as a top five holding and undervalued in the uranium sector
- Gold at its lowest portfolio weighting ever
