James Elbaor is investing in Dan Loeb at a Discount $TPOU

Yet Another Value Podcast

James Elbaor, founder and CIO of Marlton Capital, discusses his investment thesis for Third Point Investors (TPOU; trades in London).
TPOU is a closed-end investment company that invests into Third Point, Dan Loeb's hedge fund. TPOU consistently trades at a discount to NAV, and James thinks the combination of Third Point's investing prowess and TPOU's innovative buyback/tender mechanism creates a unique opportunity to generate attractive returns.
