Artem: You know, we all need food: whether it's a recession; whether it's COVID; whether it's the 2008 Financial Crisis, people need to eat. So, during those periods farming has actually done tremendously well. Intro: Imagine spending an hour with the world's greatest traders, imaging learning from their experiences, their successes, and their failures. Imagine no more, welcome to Top Traders Unplugged, the place where you can learn from the best hedge fund managers in the world so you can take your manager due diligence or investment career to the next level. Before we begin today’s conversation remember to keep two things in mind: all the discussion that we’ll have about investment performance is about the past, and past performance does not guarantee or even infer anything about future performance. Also understand that there’s a significant risk of financial loss with all investment strategies and you need to request and understand the specific risks, from the investment manager, about their products before you make investment decisions. Here’s your host, veteran hedge fund manager Niels Kaastrup-Larsen. Niels: Hey everyone and welcome to another edition of Top Traders Unplugged where today I'm joined by Artem Milinchock, who is the founder and CEO of FarmTogether. Today we are continuing our journey into the world of alternative investments. First off, Artem, thanks so much for coming on the podcast. I'm excited for you to be here. Artem: Thank you, Niels, I am excited to talk with you. Niels: Absolutely, now, what's really exciting for me about our conversation is that it's a new asset class for me and, I think, for many of our listeners as well.
