Andy Millette sits down with Haren Bhakta, Founder & CEO of Inside Ownership Index, to examine why executive ownership may be one of the strongest signals investors overlook. Haren explains the Inside Ownership 100 ETF OWN, which uses the S&P 500 as its eligible universe and selects and weights 100 companies using inside ownership value rather than traditional market capitalization. He traces the investment idea to Warren Buffett and Berkshire Hathaway and questions why a free-float-adjusted index can behave differently as an iconic owner leaves a company. The conversation moves through General Motors, IBM, GE, Apple, Amazon, Tesla and NVIDIA to explore how founder-led and owner-operator leadership can influence innovation, capital allocation and corporate culture. Haren also discusses Jeff Bezos and Amazon decision-making, Warren Buffett as a capital allocator, CEO compensation, customer obsession and the importance of focus. The interview closes with Haren’s power-law thesis, his review of 100-bagger stocks and his warning that ownership is a major green flag but not a complete investment answer. #Millettian
