On today’s episode, Kyle Grieve chats with Adam Wilk about the powers of incremental improvement, what he learned as an NBA scout about finding hidden value, why making the investing process more labour intensive has led to outperformance, the hidden difficulties of identifying quality in small-cap stocks, how to utilize aspects of special situation investments to find hidden compounders, the shared qualities found in Adam’s best investments, and a whole lot more!

Adam Wilk is the Founder and Portfolio Manager of Greystone Capital Management, LLC, leading a concentrated small and micro-cap long-only strategy. With a background in professional sports, including roles as a scout for NBA teams like the Spurs and Rockets, Adam honed skills in talent evaluation, data analysis, and risk management. His passion for value investing began in 2013, inspired by Warren Buffett’s writings, leading to a career pivot and the creation of Greystone. Adam shares his investment insights through research reports and his blog, Pound the Rock Investing.
