Sadly, this is my last InceConnect newsletter as editor. After almost four years of delivering your morning company news, I've decided to try something a little different. However, I leave you in the very capable hands of an apparition you may already be familiar with, The Finance Ghost.

If you haven't yet tuned into the weekly Magic Markets podcast that he records with Mohammed Nalla (Moe-Knows.com) there will now be many more opportunities.

In Episode 27, they are joined by Craig Antonie of AnBro Capital Investments to discuss the approach taken in their Unicorn Global Growth Fund. The recent market sell-off has been painful for growth investors. In this episode, Craig explains why the future still looks bright and why the Unicorn thesis hasn't changed.

While I won't be compiling your newsletter any longer, I'll certainly continue reading it to see what The Finance Ghost has to say.

All the best.
