Gaining Investor Trust With Chris Parrinello
About this podcast
It’s easy to get caught up in a new deal or be sold the promise of massive returns – but what are the most important conversations investors need to have with their investment strategists to ensure that a deal doesn’t go sideways?
Chris Parrinello is the Director of Investor Relations with Viking Capital and he is in candid conversation with Ravi Gupta about the red flags that we need to look out for and the tough questions we need to ask before putting pen to paper on a new investment deal.
Understanding the risk upfront, ascertaining your salesperson’s honesty and transparency, and asking to be walked through the underwriting of your potential deal are just some of the hot tips you need to take into account when building a trusting relationship with your investment strategist.
Doing your own research is another piece of good advice. That starts here. Please join us.

“At the end of the day the thing that nobody really talks about when they’re an investment salesperson is risk. And I’ve learned that it’s the most important thing you should talk about.” ~ Chris Parrinello
