5AM Capital operates with a Sydney-based advisory committee and maintains a strong affiliation with New York.
A 5AM start in Sydney, provides headspace and more time to connect with Sam’s international network.
Warren Buffett believes his out of the way location in Omaha has been instrumental in allowing him to focus on long term investments – without distraction. Sam similarly sees Sydney as a surprisingly great location to manage a long term and primarily international portfolio. For him, it heightens the distinction between investing and trading.
