For an investor who prefers the quiet corners of the market, Peter DeCaprio has been unusually willing to explain himself in public. The record is not long, and it is not meant to be. It is a handful of places where the reasoning behind the work has been set down or spoken aloud, listed here so that a reader can go to the source rather than take this site's word for it. Each entry says what the piece is and what it is good for.

Clippings

  1. Entrepreneur

    Columnist and author. DeCaprio writes at Entrepreneur for an audience of founders and operators, bringing an investor's reading of capital and markets to people who usually meet investors from the other side of the table. The columns are the most direct way to hear how he explains a market question to someone who does not work in one. His author page collects them.

  2. The Wall Street Transcript

    Interview. During the Crow Point Partners years, The Wall Street Transcript interviewed DeCaprio on the firm's investing strategies. It is a detailed public account of how he framed value and risk at that time, told in his own words, and the highlights are still online.

On air

DeCaprio is known for market commentary that is willing to be unpopular. The example most people remember is his CNBC appearance discussing a short thesis on Tesla, an argument made against a stock the market loved at the time. This site does not reproduce the details of that segment, and it does not need to. What the appearance shows, for anyone trying to understand how he invests, is that the view was his own, built from his own research, and stated when it was uncomfortable to state. That is the same method that runs through the private credit work, applied in public.
