My Bloomberg News colleagues Katherine Burton, Melissa Karsh and Sam Dodge published an article last week, “The Incredible Shrinking Hedge Fund,” that is chock-full of […]
Plusieurs établissements financiers ont récemment recruté des banquiers vedettes dans l’Hexagone pour renforcer leur franchise M&A. C’est le cas par exemple de Bank of America Merrill Lynch qui a recruté cet été Bernard Mourad pour qu’il dirige son activité de banque de financement et d’investissement nouvellement créée pour la France. Ou bien de la banque d’affaires Perella Weinberg qui a recruté Cyrille […]
This is not a drill. In fact, it actually happened. A company called—a nonprofit company—and said they had lost a crucial endorsement from a national agency that provides oversight in its industry, impacting the nonprofit’s ability to continue to operate. The agency’s decision not to endorse would send a negative signal to others in the industry, which could force the nonprofit to close. They understood […]
Comme vous le savez si vous avez travaillé dans une banque d’investissement, il existe souvent une lutte inhérente entre ceux qui travaillent sur le trading floor et ceux qui travaillent dans la technologie. Il est amplement illustré par un événement de mon passé pas si lointain. Une nuit après la fermeture des marchés, j’étais dans un pub avec quelqu’un qui travaillait dans […]

Nineteen hundred exchange-traded funds vie for attention on Wall Street. Is there room for yet more? Sure there is, says William Rhind, daredevil founder of the ETF vendor GraniteShares. Rhind’s operation, squeezed into a scrawny WeWork room in lower Manhattan, has a lineup that includes a cut-rate gold fund, two commodity funds and an unusual blend of high-payout securities aimed […]
To get ahead in the workplace, you have to be seen. Being visible at work allows employees to demonstrate their skills, land prominent assignments, and build strategic relationships. For women, however, the importance of visibility creates a conundrum. On the one hand, women’s contributions are systematically overlooked at work. This limits their professional advancement and helps to explain why the senior levels of […]

Huge contributions from tech titans, a STEM-packed curriculum, gadgets everywhere: Willie Brown Middle School was supposed to set the bar. Then it opened. ON THE WINDY afternoon of March 17, 2017, I opened my mailbox and saw a white envelope from the San Francisco Unified School District. The envelope contained a letter assigning my younger daughter to a middle school. This […]

A cause de son incapacité chronique à lancer de nouveaux produits, la pépite française a sans doute perdu l’occasion de briller encore plus. Avec un chiffre d’affaires en hausse de 28% à 2,3 milliards de dollars en 2017, Criteo affiche une santé financière à faire pâlir bien des start-up de 12 ans d’âge. Mais l’épisode Apple, en octobre dernier, a […]

Jusqu’à présent, le succès dans le secteur de la fintech reposait davantage sur le côté «fin’» que le côté ‘tech ‘. Après tout, il s’agit d’une industrie réglementée où vouloir aller vite et tout disrupter mène plus sûrement vers des problèmes juridiques que vers le succès. Mais l’année 2018 est celle où les fintechs établies commencent à devenir plus matures et […]
