Meeting Braemar’s CEO: Lee and the IC

Alex and Lord Lee sit down with the CEO of one of the holdings in Lord Lee’s portfolio: James Gundy of the shipping service company, Braemar (BMS).

James has been group CEO since 2021 and he unpacks the ins and outs of running a shipbroker on London’s main market, how it compares to its competitors and its navigation of some complicated geopolitical waters.

As always, the episode closes with an update on Lord Lee’s portfolio changes, including why he’s buying a new real estate investment trust and why he’s focusing on the changes to capital gains tax.
