The Dutch Investors

Serial acquirers & holding companies w/ Michael Gielkens

The Dutch Investors Episode 48

We couldn’t avoid it any longer. Michael Gielkens, co-founder of Tresor Capital, is one of the most requested guests, thanks to his long-term and down-to-earth perspective, but above all, because of his unique insights on serial acquirers and holding companies.

Some of the topics we cover in this episode:

  • What sets serial acquirers and holding companies apart
  • Spotting quality operators (and red flags to avoid)
  • Why Sweden breeds so many acquirers
  • Goodwill, what it is, how it works, and how it distorts
  • Assessing management quality and incentives
  • Holding company discounts explained
  • Michael’s favorite companies

And much more...
