Kernow Aset Management (/1)27 Nov 2025 12:19
From the Mello investor conference:
I also attended the presentation of Alyx Wood of Kernow Asset Management (named for Cornwall, where he’s from). He’s an excellent presenter with good comic timing, though perhaps a little too polished, like he’s trained too much at looking good in front of crowds. His talk was titled “Your Next 10 Bagger,” which was a bit of a misnomer since he focused on Saga, which he thinks is worth 484% more than the current share price (slightly less than a six-bagger). Still, it’s an intriguing investment case and one that has inspired me to look into it in much more detail for that December post. Essentially, he argues that the business was damaged by private equity and then Covid, but the original family is back in control and stabilising what has always been a solid underlying business. It’s complicated though so getting to grips with it will take a fair bit of work.
