Perpetual’s James Holt on 3 companies to benefit from decarbonisation & the most impressive business models

In this LIVE Australian Investors Podcast, recording from the Australian Shareholders Association (ASA) event in Sydney, James Holt, Senior Investment Specialist at Perpetual joins Owen Rask to talk about ASX’s best business models, how to play decarbonisation and the lessons to learn from the best investors.

We think some of the key takeaways James had for us are as follows:

• We should study the 1970s experience of persistent inflation before believing in the idea of ‘transient inflation’
• Some of the world’s best businesses can be found in unusual places and markets
• The huge global investment in decarbonisation could be a big driver of inflation

We apologise for the background noise, this was filmed live on location.
