In this episode of ek Public Voices, Karam Singh speaks with David Sokulsky, Founder of Carrara Capital, about market cycles, investor behaviour, valuation, and long-term investment opportunities.

The conversation explores how today’s market environment compares with previous periods of crisis, including the Global Financial Crisis and COVID, and whether similar patterns are emerging in the way markets, businesses, and investors respond to uncertainty.

Karam and David discuss the recent market turnaround, the role of retail investor sentiment, the rise of passive ETFs, and whether investors are becoming increasingly accustomed to a world of continuous unprecedented events.

They also examine how investors assess a potential turnaround, including the cues, financial indicators, and valuation considerations that can help determine whether an investment thesis is beginning to take shape.

Drawing on David’s experience with family offices, high-net-worth, and ultra-high-net-worth investors, the episode also considers what sophisticated families and individuals may overlook during market cycles, where capital may be deployed in the current environment, and the long-term investment themes that could continue to shape markets in the years ahead.

The discussion also touches on electric vehicles and whether EVs remain a structural growth theme for investors.

Topics covered include:

  • Comparing today’s market environment with the GFC and COVID

  • Investor behaviour, complacency, and market recovery

  • The rise of passive ETFs and their influence on market movements

  • How investors assess company, index, and market turnarounds

  • Valuation cues and financial indicators to watch

  • Common blind spots for family offices, HNW, and UHNW investors

  • Capital deployment in the current market environment

  • Electric vehicles and long-term structural investment themesAbout ek Public Voices:
