Why is it important to learn from the Nomad Investment Partnership and Nick Sleep you may ask? The fund generated an absolute return of 921.1% over a 13 year period compared to the MSCI world index return of 116.9%. An annualised return of 20.8% over 6.5% of the MSCI.

How do we measure progress? A bunch of variables, benchmarked against what is being exhibited by people around the world. We have been trained to do so!

Imagine a Jenga tower, all those blocks being different facets of human characteristics and behaviours. All the things that you surround yourself by/ get surrounded by, pull these pieces out ever so slightly. Over time each of this has pulled you far enough that the box tower doesn’t look the same.
