In this episode we spoke with Fay Ren, co-manager of the Cerno Pacific fund which has returned an impressive 68.9% over the past year, compared with a sector average of 29.9%.

The fund manager also spoke about her allocation to electric vehicle (EV) parts producers, rather than individual EV brands.
