We'll dig in. 11 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:45,040 Speaker 5: And the UAW expands its strike against GM and Sotlantis 12 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:47,280 Speaker 5: as talks progress with Ford. 13 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 3: We'll give you those latest details. 14 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 4: Plus iPhone fifteen. 15 00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 2: Hence the shelves around the world today we'll get the 16 00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 2: read on. 17 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 4: The state of demand for Apple's new products. 18 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 5: The UK Competition and Markets Authority is essentially green li 19 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 5: now microsoft sixty nine billion dollar purchase of Activision. They've 20 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 5: looked at the compromise, which is to sell cloud gaming 21 00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 5: streaming rights to Ubisoft, the Paris or French based video developer. 22 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 5: Earlier on Bluemberg Television, we had the UKCMA CEO on 23 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 5: to react to that decision. 24 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,959 Speaker 3: Have a Listen, the. 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 6: Content creation remains with that division, but the ability for 26 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 6: Ubisoft now to take independent decisions about how that content 27 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 6: is the distributed through third parties. So we know sort 28 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 6: of previously Microsoft control and limit the distribution channels for example, 29 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 6: that doesn't happen. Now that's all within the unilateral control of. 30 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 4: Ubisoft CMA CEO. 31 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 2: There. Now let's dig into well the ongoing narrative of 32 00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: this story. Mark Bergen is standing by in London and 33 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: I mean, we still got months to go until it's 34 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: formerly green lit. 35 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 4: But you think we can read the tea leaves that 36 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 4: this is going to be good to go. 37 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 7: I think my impression is that microsoftops by October eighteenth, 38 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 7: so that's even less than a month. But you know, 39 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 7: these things, as always are up in the air, and 40 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 7: the regulatory environment, and certainly in the UK and Europe 41 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 7: can be a little bit more unpredictable when it comes 42 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 7: to tech. 43 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 5: You know, Mark, at the beginning of the summer, I 44 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 5: don't think anyone thought this deal was going to go through, 45 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 5: and they overcame the regulatory hurdles here in the United States. 46 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 5: Now the UK CMA was the final hurdle. What was 47 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 5: the CMA's argument or commentary on why they felt Ubisoft 48 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 5: was a good enough compromise. 49 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 7: I think this is a really interesting concession, and from 50 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 7: my understanding, it's like they're basically looking for a third 51 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 7: party that's not Microsoft here that can be making these 52 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 7: decisions around around cloud gaming. If you buy that the 53 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 7: Microsoft thesis, and certainly like other companies like Google have 54 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 7: tried and probably will continue to try in this world 55 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 7: of cloud gaming. Having giving Microsoft it feels like giving 56 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 7: Microsoft control of that. If you if you have Uboseelf involved, 57 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:05,079 Speaker 7: then you have this third party company, a French company 58 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 7: that can sort of deny the ability for Microsoft to 59 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 7: manipulate the market. 60 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,000 Speaker 2: Microsoft Bradsmith in particular comes out saying that they're still 61 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: going to be working towards this October the eighteenth deadline, 62 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 2: as you point out, Mark, But what a different environment. 63 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 4: I mean, this has been a. 64 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 2: Year and a half since they first wanted to get 65 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,079 Speaker 2: this ninety five dollars a shared deal done. 66 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 4: What's changed? 67 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 2: I mean, it's still the business basis remaining the same. 68 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 4: Is it's still all about mobile gaming. 69 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 7: My impression there's an armchair of political analysis here, which 70 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 7: is that the CMA was sort of the only organization 71 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 7: in the US in even the EU, which is typically 72 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 7: sort of a much more willing to block these sort 73 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 7: of deals, gave the green light. What's happening here in 74 00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 7: two months in London is the Prime Minister is holding 75 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 7: this big summer around AI, this focus on AI safety, 76 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 7: but also trying to build out the UK as at 77 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,600 Speaker 7: home to innovation and industry. I think it was certainly 78 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 7: seen the messaging for Microsoft is that if the CMA 79 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 7: blocks this deal, that is very counterproductive to the ultimate aims, 80 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 7: and so that probably was maybe one of the factors 81 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 7: in this redirection here. And I'm sure we've we've done 82 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 7: some ex and my colleagues have done some excellent reporting 83 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 7: on what went on behind the scenes here. We saw 84 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 7: this morning that I think the activision price is now 85 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 7: back to where it would have been initially paid, which 86 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 7: just means a lot of lawyers made a lot of 87 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 7: money in the past year and a. 88 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 4: Half and they always mart Bergen, thank you very much. Indeed, 89 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 4: go have a good Friday night. 90 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, let's talk about what's happening elsewhere in terms of 91 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 2: relationships between private and public. UAW expanding its strike against 92 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: the lantis En GM as I was just saying, Look, 93 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: the un union, in fact has announced that it's made 94 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: some real progress with Ford in talks over a new 95 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: labor contract for more. 96 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 4: Let's bring in Bluemos, Gabrielle. 97 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 2: Coverla and Gabby, we will try and put the tech 98 00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,920 Speaker 2: lens on this. And you did it so expertly last 99 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 2: time to shining a light and how much ev transition 100 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:05,640 Speaker 2: is an issue for these car makers. What do you 101 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 2: think is the part of why Ford's making progress here? 102 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 8: Well, I think Ford traditionally has had a better relationship 103 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,720 Speaker 8: with the UAW than the GM or Stilandis. The company 104 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 8: has said they spend about a billion dollars more on 105 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 8: labor than GM Orsialandis, and I think a big part 106 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:26,560 Speaker 8: of that is they have fewer temporary workers. And that 107 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 8: is a key difference because there is basically a second 108 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 8: class of workers in America's auto plants, and that is 109 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 8: these temp workers who you know, they start out at 110 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 8: about fifteen seventy eight sixteen bucks an hour and they 111 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 8: talk out at twenty whereas if you're a full time worker, 112 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 8: you start out at around eighteen dollars. If you can 113 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 8: talk about at thirty two dollars. So for in some ways, 114 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:51,600 Speaker 8: Ford was already there, but they are still making significant concessions. 115 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 8: They agreed to cost of living allowances, basically inflation protection 116 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 8: for the workers. That's something that went away in two 117 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 8: thousand and nine of GM and Chrysler and bankrupt. Ford 118 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 8: agreed to put it back. That was a major thing 119 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 8: for the union. And also another key thing is the union. 120 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 8: Sean Fay, the UAW president, said, for the first time 121 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 8: in history, the union has won the right to strike 122 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 8: over plant closures during the course of the four year contract. 123 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 8: Now that's a big deal because if you think about 124 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 8: the ev transition and the push for you know, lower 125 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 8: cost and lower labor costs. You know, there's been a 126 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 8: lot of new auto vans, you know, coming up to Mexico. 127 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,159 Speaker 8: People all three of these companies are making electric cars 128 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 8: in Mexico, at least some of them, you know the 129 00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 8: books saying it's made in Mexico. RAM has some of 130 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 8: their delivery vans electric being made in Mexico. So, I mean, 131 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,920 Speaker 8: the UAW, I think, sees the writing on the wall 132 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:51,360 Speaker 8: and they are really. 133 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 9: Pushing hard to stop that. 134 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 8: And with four they've made some progress. I don't know 135 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 8: if they're going to be able to pull that off 136 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 8: from gmrs. The land is but more in at a certain. 137 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 5: Open Gabby Sean Fain's kind of big picture argument has 138 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 5: been billions of dollars from the Inflation Reduction Act is 139 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 5: going into the infrastructure. The companies can take that, and 140 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 5: he's basically saying, like the labor has to go with it. 141 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 5: You know, you have to you have to take some 142 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 5: of that money and invest in the workforce long term. 143 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,400 Speaker 5: My question is, like net net, do evs require the 144 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 5: same number of jobs on the assembly line as a 145 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 5: combustion edging a combustion engine card does well, you know. 146 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 8: There's been studies that suggest that no, you know, they 147 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 8: do require fewer workers, especially when you think about you know, 148 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 8: longer ready to make engines you know, or you know, 149 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 8: some of the transmission that you see in a combustion echin. 150 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 8: But you know, I would argue that we still don't 151 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 8: have a really clear picture on that. You know, it's 152 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 8: still early days in this, and there are you know, 153 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 8: there are new jobs. We look at the billions of 154 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,120 Speaker 8: dollars in investments, you know, the companies are making to 155 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 8: build battery plants in the United States, know, I think 156 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 8: GM has talked about they're actually bringing more of some 157 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 8: of their kind of powertrain work in house so they 158 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 8: can have a place for union workers to go to 159 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 8: and the EV transitions. 160 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,280 Speaker 4: The Lands has talked about that as well. 161 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 8: The question is what kind of jobs will those EV 162 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,239 Speaker 8: jobs be, and that you know, that question is crucial 163 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 8: to the u a W members. It's crucial also to 164 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 8: our national politics. And you know you saw that, you know, 165 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 8: former President Donald Trump has come in the Detroit next week. 166 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 8: This morning, Sean Grain officially invited President Biden to come 167 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 8: visit the picket line. So whether or not these future 168 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 8: EV jobs are good jobs is critical not just to 169 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 8: the UAW and you know, these workers stand there living, 170 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 8: but also it's going to play It's going to be 171 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 8: a huge issue in our you know, presidential elections for 172 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 8: the whole coming years. 173 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 3: It's just a huge topic. 174 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 5: Bloomberg's Gota Coppola out there in Detroit. Just so good 175 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 5: to have you here on Bloomberg Technology bringing us the 176 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 5: breaking is coming out from the show. We're going to 177 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 5: talk about the broader health of the tech sector with 178 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 5: Denise Chishom Fidelity. 179 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 3: I love having Denise on the show. This is Bloomberg Technology. 180 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 4: What a week. 181 00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:15,880 Speaker 2: Whether you're looking at the FED, whether you look at 182 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,559 Speaker 2: the UN, whether you're looking at IPO windows, but notably 183 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 2: also whether you're looking at money being drawn out of 184 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 2: the stock market. We're seeing the S and P five 185 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 2: hundred having the most amount of funds come out since 186 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 2: we understand in December. 187 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 4: That's according to Bank of American Merrill Lynch. 188 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 2: But let's dig into whether that's really coming out of 189 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: the tech sector, whether it should be Denise Chisholmers with us. 190 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,240 Speaker 2: She's Fidelity head of Sector Strategy. 191 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 4: Denise is great to. 192 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 2: Have some time with you, and I'm just interested as 193 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 2: to when we've seen quite a hard shell off in 194 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 2: the last three days. 195 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 4: Today we steady a little bit. What do you make 196 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 4: of these valuations? 197 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 2: What do you make of a NASDAC basically was almost 198 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 2: an oversold territory or down at almost thirty. 199 00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 10: Yeah, when you look back at the short term volatility 200 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 10: we're seeing now is exactly a surprise given a really 201 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 10: strong rotation we've seen in the overall market and then 202 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,640 Speaker 10: obviously an economically sensitive sec like technology, So a little 203 00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 10: bumping around over the short term isn't really a surprise 204 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 10: given the strength of that move. I think history can 205 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:10,320 Speaker 10: help a little when you sort of step back and 206 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 10: zoom out. What's likely to happen in the future and 207 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 10: not the past is one hundred percent predictive of future performance. 208 00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 10: But the stronger that cyclical rotation into economically oriented sectors, 209 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 10: the more likely it is to continue. And the reason 210 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 10: behind that is it's more likely that when stocks have 211 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 10: moved as strange as it seems, when earnings are actually 212 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 10: currently contracting, stocks more often than not get it right 213 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 10: and earnings do in fact recover, and then the risk 214 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 10: reward for those cyclical sectors like technology actually is still positive. 215 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,600 Speaker 5: Hey, Denise Carrot kick us off with let's play a 216 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,840 Speaker 5: game of technology risk factor BINGO. 217 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 3: Because you read everything out, so you add the IPO window. 218 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 5: We had China most recently the FED and then some 219 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 5: economic data in the twenty four hours that followed that 220 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 5: said the Fed's going to stay the course. What's BINGO 221 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,320 Speaker 5: for you? Like, what is the biggest fact that you're 222 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 5: thinking about as it relates to tech. 223 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 10: Yeah, I think it all has to come back to earnings, 224 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 10: and that's the biggest factor one. 225 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 3: Sorry, So that's my pick for. 226 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 10: Bingo earnings, not any of that. I mean, I think 227 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 10: that the FED. It's interesting when you think about interest rates, 228 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 10: and I think people do think that they're very, very 229 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 10: correlated to technology stocks. And it's not to say that 230 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 10: they're not over short term periods. We obviously saw that 231 00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 10: in twenty twenty two. But when you think about interest rates, 232 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 10: it's a very shifting correlation because the why behind higher 233 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 10: rates matters more than the level. Meaning when rates are 234 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 10: actually rising and growth is accelerating, then the technology sector 235 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 10: and the stock market overall really has had little problem 236 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 10: with higher rates. The problem comes in when you have 237 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 10: higher rates and lower growth. Now that's where we were 238 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 10: in twenty twenty two. So I think that you could 239 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 10: be looking at a very changing correlation where rates and 240 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 10: the FED were the only variable that you cared about 241 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 10: as an investor in inflation to a situation where that 242 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 10: might be more or less in the rear view mirror 243 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 10: and earnings needs to be the focus because if earnings 244 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 10: are going to recover, then interest rates and even valuations 245 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 10: is much much less predictive when you look at history. 246 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: What's so interesting is I'm interested in where you think 247 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 2: earnings I mean, upon us till what October thirteenth, I 248 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 2: was just immniant JP Morgan. 249 00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 4: They sort of. 250 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 2: Tends to kick things off in the banking sector. Got 251 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 2: a couple of weeks to wait, We've just had a 252 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: name big in your town. Clavio come to the market, 253 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 2: Boston born and bred and now publicly traded. It's now 254 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,520 Speaker 2: trading what at thirty two thirty three dollars versus its 255 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: pricing point? But where do we look for the investment 256 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 2: opportunities within technology because it all seemed to be about AI. 257 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 4: At one point. 258 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 10: Yeah, I don't know as much as it was about AIS. 259 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 10: We certainly saw the move and the stocks. I mean 260 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 10: that is more of a forward earnings story. And for me, 261 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 10: when I looked at the historical pattern, as much as 262 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 10: people were talking about it being all about five stocks, 263 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 10: really the historical pattern that we saw in technology is 264 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 10: fairly typical when you actually see an earnings contraction in 265 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 10: the stocks move before earnings growth does. And that's the 266 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,839 Speaker 10: trickiest part about looking at multiples or looking at valuation 267 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 10: to see if whether or not that this move is done, 268 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 10: because more often than not, trough earnings is coincident with 269 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 10: peak multiples, and that isn't a great predictive factor when 270 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,760 Speaker 10: you look at forward earnings. So the biggest moves that 271 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 10: you have seen in the technology sector from a forward 272 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 10: perspective when you're saying net revisions be positive, is in 273 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 10: semiconductors and software, and I think that that's the area 274 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,800 Speaker 10: of the market that investors would qualify as expensive. And 275 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 10: the problem with that expensive is that it's usually not 276 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:48,320 Speaker 10: a problem historically provided that earnings recover. Now there is 277 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 10: valuation support within technology, and that's more in the hardware sector, 278 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 10: so it's a little bit of a across the board. 279 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,280 Speaker 10: The catalysts are slightly different. So for valuation support, you 280 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 10: actually don't have really the earnings momentum that other areas have. 281 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 10: But the places you have earnings momentum, you don't have 282 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 10: valuation support. But that isn't necessarily negative. 283 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 5: Learning from the earnings window just gone. You know, you 284 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 5: think about Video and Apple, what they had in common 285 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 5: twenty percent of sales coming from China, and they both 286 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 5: kind of were talked about in the context of long 287 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 5: term risk China. What's happening politically but also technologically right 288 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 5: access to technology markets. What does your research there tell 289 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 5: you about the risk in China. 290 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 10: Yeah, from a long term perspective, I think that we've 291 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 10: had a lot of risks in a lot of sectors 292 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 10: over a lot of years. I mean, what you can 293 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:40,400 Speaker 10: see when you look back in the historical data for technology, 294 00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 10: and we've got data going back to nineteen sixty two, 295 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 10: is each cycle, margins have been higher and higher. Right, 296 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 10: So this secular trend has been fairly consistent, which is 297 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 10: not to say that there won't be risks in the market. 298 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 10: And in some ways I'm the wrong person to ask 299 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,520 Speaker 10: that question, because what I really focus on is not 300 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:01,360 Speaker 10: all the things that could go and trying to discount 301 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 10: that back to present or even future earnings. But really 302 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,160 Speaker 10: I concentrate around what is being discounted in the stock 303 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 10: market because we've seen and even over the last year, 304 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 10: we've seen this tricky scenario where stocks can advance quite 305 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 10: rapidly despite the fact that there is bad. 306 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 4: News and that's the wall of worry. 307 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 11: Right. 308 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 10: So when you think about risk from China, how do 309 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:25,280 Speaker 10: I as an investor know if that's a wall of worry 310 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 10: issue or a real earnings hit. And I think, in 311 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 10: some ways, instead of sort of trying to figure out 312 00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 10: whether or not it is is to think about what 313 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 10: the stocks have discounted. 314 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 5: Let's go from the wall of warry and end on 315 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 5: a happy note. This Friday, Caroline talks about claviy. I 316 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 5: just wanted to ask you about Boston and for you 317 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 5: to have the opportunity to give a shout out to 318 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 5: the tech sector in Boston. 319 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 10: Yes, I will definitely give a shout out to the 320 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 10: tech sector in Boston. 321 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 3: All right, Well, that was short and sweet. We love it. 322 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 5: Denise Chisholm, facility head of Strategy. 323 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 3: Thank you. 324 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 4: Caro yea, all eyes on. What a global text story. 325 00:15:57,360 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, let's just go over to what we've been seeing 326 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 2: the home today. I cycled past the New York shop 327 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 2: of course store as you might call it in America 328 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,520 Speaker 2: of Apple and the new iPhones. 329 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 4: They're on deck, the launchers there. Tim Cook was in town. 330 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 4: It was busy, The cues were enormous. 331 00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 2: What does that signal about ali appetite for these particular 332 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: new phones. 333 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 4: I phoned fifteen in particular. 334 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 5: All right, time for talking tech and first up in 335 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 5: the news Canio. The logistics arm of Ali. Barber's planning 336 00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 5: to file for its Hong Kong IPO as soon as 337 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 5: next week that according to sources, this would make it 338 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 5: among the first of the Chinese tech firms units to 339 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 5: go public. The company's sargoning a raise of at least 340 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:46,240 Speaker 5: one billion dollars in the share sale, and the Biden 341 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 5: administration is limiting expansion in China by chip companies getting 342 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 5: federal funds to build plants. In the US, the announcement 343 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 5: comes as the Chips Program Office is getting ready to 344 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 5: give about thirty nine billion dollars in grants and seventy 345 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 5: five billion dollars in loans and loan guarantees. Plus, Amazon 346 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 5: will run ads on its Prime Video service in key 347 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,400 Speaker 5: markets to help offset rising costs. Following the example, of course, 348 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,400 Speaker 5: of other streaming platforms that are looking to further monetize 349 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 5: their content. The company says AD supporting streaming will be 350 00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:20,120 Speaker 5: the default on Prime Video in the US, UK, Germany 351 00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 5: and Canada starting early next year. 352 00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 4: Caroline, another one bites the dust. 353 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,479 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the iPhone fifteen, those watches they officially went on 354 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 2: sale today in the latest test for resilient consumer demand 355 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 2: here in the US and globally, and it's all about 356 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 2: Apple's devices. We're going to see how strong the start 357 00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 2: has been. Let's bring in Bloomberg's Mark German and Mark. 358 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 2: I cycled on my way on my city BikeE passed 359 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 2: the one right by Central Park today and the queues 360 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 2: were enormous. 361 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,679 Speaker 4: That's typical though, right, Yeah, we're. 362 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 12: Actually seeing lines that are a bit longer than we 363 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 12: did the last few years. Obviously, we had a few 364 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 12: pandemic years, so that sort of sucked the wind out 365 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 12: of you know, lines at Apple stores. But clearly and 366 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,480 Speaker 12: seemingly the line are bigger than the past two years, 367 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 12: based on everything we're seeing from Mumbai to Sydney to 368 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 12: Japan to Los Angeles. Clearly there's a little bit more 369 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:13,199 Speaker 12: momentum here. I think some of the reason is maybe 370 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 12: some of these people tried to pre order online but 371 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,919 Speaker 12: they were quickly meant with delays into mid November or 372 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 12: even later in some regions, so they had no choice 373 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 12: if they. 374 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 13: Wanted one on day one to line up. 375 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,959 Speaker 12: But clearly there is a strong amount of momentum, at 376 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 12: least for the new pro phones this year. 377 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 5: So here's the questions, right, the holiday season's key, So 378 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 5: do you frontload, do you buy it now or do 379 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 5: you wait? And then we call it iPhone fifteen? But 380 00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,959 Speaker 5: they're four handsets to choose from. Do they go Pro, 381 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 5: Promax or Base model. 382 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think the Promax is actually especially important this year. Obviously, 383 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 12: they removed the one hundred and twenty eight gigabyte tier 384 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 12: that was the base tier for the phone in terms 385 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 12: of storage, that was eleven hundred dollars. Now they're starting 386 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 12: at twelve hundred dollars by eliminating that tier and starting 387 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 12: with a two hundred fifty six gigabyte model, and that 388 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 12: has additional functionality in addition to the bigger battery and 389 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 12: the bigger display. This new five X zoom on the 390 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 12: camera for the telephoto ones. So I think we're going 391 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 12: to see more people than typical upgrade to that biggest 392 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 12: size for that extra camera improvement. 393 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 2: Mark great to have for your expertise, online lengths and 394 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 2: everything else. 395 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 4: We appreciate it. 396 00:19:28,600 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 5: Welcome back to Bloomberg Technology. I'm and Dadlow here in 397 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 5: New York City, one last day. 398 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, I'm karenin high Let's get a quick check on 399 00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 2: these markets on this Friday play day. We're seeing currently 400 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 2: up a percentage point. Now's that one hundred managing to 401 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 2: get a little bit of risk appetite creeping in towards 402 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:45,879 Speaker 2: the weekend. Now there aren't catalysts, whether it be some 403 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 2: slightly weaker economic data that means the Federal Reserve could 404 00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:51,159 Speaker 2: potentially hold for the rest of the year. Many are 405 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,120 Speaker 2: betting on at least one more hike. But for now, 406 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 2: we get over the Federal Reserve hunt day and move 407 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:57,920 Speaker 2: towards actually been of buying in the ten year yield. 408 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 2: We of course have been at high's for years on out, 409 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 2: but we're currently at four point four point four let's 410 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 2: call it. On the tenure, We're currently down by some 411 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 2: six basis points, so a little bit of appetite. 412 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:09,480 Speaker 4: Having seen those yields push wider. 413 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 2: I'm interested with the China story, though, Crane shares that's 414 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,080 Speaker 2: particular The next that I'm looking at up almost four percent. 415 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,440 Speaker 2: These are internet names in China that are traded over 416 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 2: here in the United States and they get a bid 417 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 2: because actually, maybe tensions are easing a little bit between 418 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 2: US and China. There's going to be working groups discussions, 419 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 2: particularly at the Treasury level, between the United States and China. 420 00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 2: Could that be easing some of the heated conversation we've 421 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 2: been having of late. 422 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:33,359 Speaker 4: Move on to the individual movers PDD doing well on 423 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 4: the back of that Meta platforms. 424 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 2: Interesting by note coming from City as we look ahead 425 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 2: to meta Connects next week and. 426 00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 4: I'm looking at Warner Brothers Discovery. 427 00:20:40,119 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 2: Not a huge amount of news lines around warners today. 428 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 2: We're down by some thirty percent worse performer on the 429 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 2: last that one hundred. Maybe we look towards whether those 430 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 2: striking actions, particularly between writers could be alleviated a little 431 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 2: bit more on the state of discussions. 432 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,960 Speaker 5: Another favorite risk asset of choice of ours here on 433 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 5: the program, of course, is biggwen. I just checked it's 434 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 5: still at almost twenty seven US dollars for token. One 435 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,480 Speaker 5: of Europe's largest cryptocurrency asset managers, coin Shares, is actually 436 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,280 Speaker 5: looking to expand here in America with the launch of 437 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 5: a hedge fund division. Fortunately with us on set talk 438 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 5: through it all Gean Marie Magnetti Coinshares CEO. One would 439 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,239 Speaker 5: imagine that if you're launching a hedge fund here in 440 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 5: the US, there is demand on the other side for 441 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:21,919 Speaker 5: such a such an offering. 442 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 13: Yeah, thank you, thank you for having me. 443 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 14: You know, we started our journey in Europe and we 444 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 14: are as you mentioned, europe large asset management company in 445 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 14: crypto and you know, the US remain ninety percent of 446 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 14: the AUM allocation in the world, so you have to 447 00:21:37,320 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 14: get enough FORRON in the US. We focus our started 448 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 14: of our journey in Europe, and it's time for now. 449 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 13: To bridge into the US. 450 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 14: And we don't want to go into the US with 451 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 14: our traditional ETF program or ETP program like we get 452 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 14: in Europe and trying to find something different. Yeah, we've 453 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 14: been training our dna is asset management and hedgephone business. 454 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 14: We're doing community business before that in a hedge fund style. 455 00:21:58,000 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 14: So we say it's time to go back to our 456 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 14: roots and you know, offer the US market hedgepron offering, 457 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 14: especially when everybody is living in the US. So what 458 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 14: a better time to get in the US when everybody 459 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:07,840 Speaker 14: is exiting. 460 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 2: Okay, so you're taking a sort of controversial. 461 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,800 Speaker 4: Move because people are exiting because. 462 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 2: They're worried about regulation in particular perhaps people building their 463 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 2: businesses elsewhere. We're looking at Gary Gensler really talking tough 464 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 2: against the industry, what institutional clients, investors talk saying about this. 465 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 14: So I'm not sure if it's controversial or contrarian. You know, yes, 466 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 14: when we started our journey in twenty thirteen in crypto, 467 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 14: I guarantee you we were very contrariant and people were 468 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 14: telling us what are you doing? So it's kind of 469 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 14: part of our gain in DNA to be doing this 470 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,080 Speaker 14: kind of move. You know, we're not building the hedgephne business. 471 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 14: A hedgeprohn not based in the US are distributed and 472 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 14: available for US investors, and that's very, very different. And 473 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 14: you know, our game is like how do we bring 474 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,880 Speaker 14: this product and extend offering into the US. Our legacy 475 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 14: product and never been distributed in the US, never been 476 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 14: available to US investors. 477 00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 13: This is the very. 478 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 14: First time now that we can bring this product to 479 00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 14: market to a US audience, and there is an appetite 480 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,080 Speaker 14: for that in the US. There is a lack of 481 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 14: product availability in the US. You obviously get the GBTC availability, 482 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 14: but beyond that, there's a few little number of players. 483 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,280 Speaker 14: So bringing a bit of a diversity and different view 484 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 14: and different thinking is a great advantage. 485 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 2: Is it generally going to be exposure to bitcoin and 486 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 2: some of the clearly not expected to be deemed securities. 487 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 7: Yes. 488 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 14: First of all, this liquid, so everything we do is 489 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 14: like one hundred percent liquid. We don't do like ten 490 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 14: years vcphone in that approach. So it's like liquid investments, 491 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 14: monthly redemption, monster subscriptions, so very very kind of easy 492 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 14: to invest. And you know, at the end of the 493 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 14: day you have to be able to follow as well 494 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 14: market capital market market capitalization and liquidity. So so you know, 495 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 14: we're going to really focus on bigcoon if mainly, which 496 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 14: are like kind of the big timative we are seeing 497 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 14: interest from. 498 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 5: The thing is like the fundamental question whatever corner of 499 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 5: the investing university in is what is the value of 500 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 5: holding bitcoin in a portfolio from an asset allocation standpoint, 501 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,080 Speaker 5: or if you're a retail investor, what's your argument. 502 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 14: It's a very interesting point because if you look at 503 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:10,399 Speaker 14: our start of our journey, we come into it as 504 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,120 Speaker 14: a deep deep value investor in Conciare with our coin 505 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:15,439 Speaker 14: share eye. So we started buying bitcoin in twenty thirteen 506 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 14: seeing how it will transform and how a shock on 507 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 14: the demand side will have an immediate effect on the 508 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 14: price because the offer is constrained by code, constrained by 509 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 14: low it's twenty one million, nothing else, and fir ust 510 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 14: it was a very appealing process. I think that the 511 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 14: narrative got lost a little bit in the meantime because 512 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 14: of the speculation happening around crypto, and we can see 513 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,920 Speaker 14: now that the stats on chain and also off chain 514 00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 14: are showing that people are starting to hold to. 515 00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 13: Their bigcoin and not letting them go. 516 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 14: There is a Concier research which come out this week 517 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,719 Speaker 14: where we can see that the amount of bitcoin all 518 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 14: on chain for one year, not moving two years, three years, 519 00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 14: four years up to five years are not at an 520 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,959 Speaker 14: all time high. So people are starting to realize and 521 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 14: go back to the real principle of bitcoinferenceance. It was 522 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 14: a reserve, kind of a reserve of value, a way 523 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 14: of us storing value for them for long term and 524 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 14: not kind of just like a training asset. 525 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 13: So it's a very interesting. 526 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 14: Part for portfoliocation strategy and in our cent share model, 527 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 14: want people to be able to come to us say okay, 528 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 14: we want to allocate bitter with you, and if you 529 00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 14: want to go beyond bitter, you go to our Hochelon 530 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 14: division and have an azone overlay or a complete alpha strategy. 531 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 3: What was it like setting up the business here? 532 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 5: I spoke to Chris Laston three weeks ago, the Ripple 533 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 5: co founder who you know he is one of the 534 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 5: biggest advocate advocates for the underlying blockchain technology has his 535 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:35,040 Speaker 5: own token. But he told me the basically, the FED 536 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,680 Speaker 5: Royal government and the FED and the Biden administration have 537 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 5: killed the prospects through regulation in this country. 538 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,359 Speaker 13: So you know, a presence in the US. 539 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:49,240 Speaker 14: Since twenty seventeen, we have a broker dealer in the US. 540 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 14: Since twenty eighteen, we have grown up this brocer dealer SOS. 541 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 14: We can distribute our product which are effectively offshore products, 542 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 14: so they are available for onshore investors. So the capacity 543 00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 14: to do it is very available in the US. That's 544 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 14: to be done properly, done with the right people and 545 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,639 Speaker 14: in the right manner.

And you can see like an interest 560 00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 14: going from you know, our IEA at the bottom of 561 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 14: the stack up to very sophisticated. That's a management company 562 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 14: who are looking for sleevel diversification because it's not very 563 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,520 Speaker 14: easy when you are a multi billion dollar hedphone to 564 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 14: just create a pocket of liquidity just for that. So 565 00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 14: it's like, how do I find the right partner to 566 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,679 Speaker 14: be able to go and allocate Jeh. 567 00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,439 Speaker 2: Mary create test some time with you on your journeys 568 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 2: across the America. 569 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 4: I have a feeling I'll be. 570 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 2: Back a few more times Jr. When yes, he's coinschaes 571 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 2: at CEO.

And remember 583 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 5: this is going after the online retail part of the business, 584 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 5: the most sort of consumer facing bit. In our colleague Lyarlyland, 585 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 5: I think she reported in the first week of September, 586 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:38,120 Speaker 5: so we thought this would come. 587 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 3: But yeah, specific right coming up here. 588 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:42,159 Speaker 5: On Bloomberg Technology, we're going to talk about the future 589 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,280 Speaker 5: of climate tech and how AI can impact that sector 590 00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 5: its potential but also possibil drawbacks and then their impact ventures. 591 00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 5: Zoey Pedden joins us. Next, this is Bloomberg Technology. 592 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 15: You need to have a dialogue with countries like China. 593 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 3: They're not going to go away, and there may be 594 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 3: things that we can work. 595 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 15: Together with China on, but you know, we have to 596 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 15: be very realistic and we have to have those. 597 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 13: Discussions with our eyes open. 598 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 15: What we're trying to see is if we can get 599 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 15: a global consensusus on how to make sure that artificial 600 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 15: intelligence remains a massive force for good in the world, 601 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 15: which I truly believe it can be. 602 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 5: That was UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt there 603 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 5: and as world leaders gathered at the UN General Assembly 604 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 5: in New York City this week, everyone seemed to agree 605 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 5: on one thing. Climate change is among the biggest problems 606 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 5: facing the planet. Maybe that's where AI could be a. 607 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 3: Force for good. 608 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,840 Speaker 5: On today's VC Spotlight, we're taking a look at climate tech, 609 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 5: investing the impact of AI on that sector and much 610 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 5: more with Ananda Impact Ventures, a European VC firm with 611 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 5: two hundred and thirteen million dollars under management. They're investing 612 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 5: in startups with scalable missions for the plant its future. 613 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,200 Speaker 5: Let's bring in an and a partner Zoe Peddam for more. 614 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 5: And you know Zoe, these meetings, these big, high profile, 615 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 5: week long, let's talk about the world kind of events. 616 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,760 Speaker 5: As somebody invests in the early stage, do you see 617 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 5: a trickle down of benefit from something like that. 618 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 11: I think it's good to put the topic on the 619 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 11: world stage. The media, like yourself at picking it up 620 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,360 Speaker 11: and talking about it, and it really helps the startups 621 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 11: that are already working in it to get some momentum 622 00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 11: and get people talking about certain sectors that perhaps haven't. 623 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 9: Received such media. 624 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,840 Speaker 11: As such a media exposure, there's been a lot of 625 00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:42,200 Speaker 11: focus on carbon and carbon accounting, but what about biodiversity, 626 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:46,440 Speaker 11: what about nature? This is being put on the radar now, 627 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,800 Speaker 11: so I think it's important that we do have these 628 00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,680 Speaker 11: meetings at this global stage. 629 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 2: What's interesting, as we just heard from Jeremy Hunt, meanwhile, 630 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 2: his leader of the Prime Minister of the UK is 631 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 2: getting a lot of heat for basically putting climate goals 632 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:01,120 Speaker 2: to one side. And I'm interested in perspective of the 633 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 2: politicization of the space in with you work. I mean, 634 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:05,720 Speaker 2: certainly that's here in the United States as well. 635 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 4: Has there been as. 636 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,560 Speaker 2: Much interest in backing funds that want to invest in 637 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 2: climate startups? 638 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 11: I mean I was looking at pitch book the other 639 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 11: day and it reported that in Q one twenty twenty three, 640 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 11: climate tech startups raised five point seven billion, so two 641 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,560 Speaker 11: hundred and seventy nine BC deals, which is a thirty 642 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 11: six percent decline in deal value and thirty one percent 643 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,440 Speaker 11: that decline in deal count from the previous quarter. But 644 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 11: that's a lag indicator for me, because when I'm out 645 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:38,000 Speaker 11: there and I see when we're raising our fund and 646 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 11: I meet people who want to invest in Nanda, I 647 00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:45,040 Speaker 11: don't see this hesitation. I just see more and more 648 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 11: money coming from many different areas coming into climate. So 649 00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,320 Speaker 11: I think the dip in climate investing of that last 650 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,440 Speaker 11: quarter is just a general reflection of the dip in 651 00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,000 Speaker 11: VC funding overall and not an indicator of where things 652 00:30:59,000 --> 00:30:59,400 Speaker 11: are going. 653 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 2: So let's talk about how you stand out from the crowd. 654 00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 2: At one point it felt like a very busy crowd. 655 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,200 Speaker 2: But what's interesting about Nandrew is you sort. 656 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 4: Of put your money where your mouth is. 657 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 2: And you don't take fees unless, oh, the companies which 658 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,440 Speaker 2: you're backing are saying what they're going to do, and 659 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,800 Speaker 2: you're holding yourself towards some sort of transparency account Here 660 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,040 Speaker 2: is that something that's been pipped by the rest of 661 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:19,560 Speaker 2: the industry. 662 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,920 Speaker 11: It's increasingly being copied and we wanted that. It's called 663 00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:26,960 Speaker 11: our Impact carry model. We created it back in twenty 664 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 11: fourteen alongside the European Investment Fund, so it's a co 665 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 11: creation where the carry is linked to the impact. 666 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,200 Speaker 9: So we have impact KPIs and we need to meet at. 667 00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,280 Speaker 11: Least sixty percent of those targets from those predictions from 668 00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 11: those startups to be able to see any carrier at all. 669 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 11: So it means you really values align and the founders 670 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 11: really like it, and of course our investors do. I 671 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 11: think it's really important that we have something like this 672 00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 11: around accountability and governance in impact investing to stop impact washing, 673 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 11: which you know you've got green washing, thank you've also 674 00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 11: got impact. 675 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 3: Washing, Zoe. 676 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 5: What is the AI climate play for avenged capitalists like you? 677 00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 9: Oh, there's lots of different things. 678 00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 11: I think the biggest area is in machine learning. 679 00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:15,560 Speaker 9: That's what we've seen for the last few years. So 680 00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:16,760 Speaker 9: going from. 681 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 11: Looking at computer vision that's tracking had thermal cameras with nanosatellites, 682 00:32:21,760 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 11: being able to detect and look at prevention of wildfire 683 00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:30,760 Speaker 11: massive area, and then down to being able to predicting wastewater. 684 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 11: Wastewater surveilance is a big new area in climate tech, 685 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:38,200 Speaker 11: and pathogens and being able to start to track different 686 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 11: pathogens like the covid virus which is viral but actual 687 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 11: bacterial ones, and being able to predict which areas might 688 00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 11: not respond to antibiotics, so antibiotic resistance is massive. So 689 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,240 Speaker 11: that's when you start to see the environment crossover into 690 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:59,840 Speaker 11: population health and then regenitive ag what else. Lots of 691 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 11: things going on in ocean tech, very difficult area at 692 00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 11: the moment and biodiversity nature as I was referring to. 693 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 9: Before, are wonderful. Wonderful. 694 00:33:09,920 --> 00:33:14,160 Speaker 11: You are in much more tangible to talk about carbon 695 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,000 Speaker 11: and I think there's a lot we can do around 696 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:20,880 Speaker 11: being able to track nature using environmental DNA on the 697 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,360 Speaker 11: ground and being able to predict and. 698 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 9: What species have been removed either through. 699 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:33,440 Speaker 11: Infrastructure or mining or something in the water, anything that's 700 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:37,160 Speaker 11: being dug up and replacing that and making it better 701 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:38,040 Speaker 11: than it was before. 702 00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 9: Because those little microbes, So it's. 703 00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 11: Not that the big species that you think about big animals, 704 00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 11: it's actually the microbes in the water. They leave trails 705 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:50,240 Speaker 11: of pieces of DNA and we can detect all of those, 706 00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 11: and they're the ones that when you talk about our 707 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:56,960 Speaker 11: food and our soil systems, they're absolutely essential for the 708 00:33:57,040 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 11: balance that we have in nature, and those are the 709 00:33:59,360 --> 00:33:59,680 Speaker 11: ones that. 710 00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:03,720 Speaker 2: Are anander impact venture partner, Zoe Peden, thanks for spending 711 00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 2: some time with us, really tooking us through some of 712 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 2: the opportunities there. 713 00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 4: So it's the Global Citizen Festival. 714 00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:18,360 Speaker 2: It's become the world's longest running global campaign calling for 715 00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 2: an end to extreme poverty ever since its first installment 716 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,080 Speaker 2: here in New York City in twenty twelve. Now for 717 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:27,760 Speaker 2: this iteration, three million actions have been taken by global citizens. 718 00:34:27,320 --> 00:34:29,200 Speaker 4: Where it's app to ask global. 719 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,200 Speaker 2: Leaders to defend the planet, to defeat poverty, to fight 720 00:34:31,239 --> 00:34:33,680 Speaker 2: for equity. Now, as we gear up for twenty twenty 721 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 2: three Global Citis Investival taking place tomorrow, to bring in 722 00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,479 Speaker 2: Michael Sheldren, his chief Policy Impact in Government Relations officer 723 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,520 Speaker 2: over at Global Citizen. And we're going to put the 724 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:43,800 Speaker 2: weather to one side, because it might be a little drizzily, 725 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:47,759 Speaker 2: but ultimately you're fighting because of weather elements, because of 726 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,279 Speaker 2: the climate, because of poverty. And what's so interesting about 727 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,120 Speaker 2: Global Citizen And you were born in an iteration where 728 00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 2: people used to perhaps tweet, or they'd write letters, or 729 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,080 Speaker 2: they'd send emails. How have you used social media to 730 00:34:58,160 --> 00:34:59,839 Speaker 2: now bring your force to bear? 731 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:01,520 Speaker 13: Well, thank you for having me on. 732 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 16: And the first thing I will just say, if anyone's 733 00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:08,080 Speaker 16: coming tomorrow, the Global Citizen Festival continues, rain, shining, hail, 734 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:08,880 Speaker 16: doesn't matter. 735 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:09,919 Speaker 13: Everyone will be there. 736 00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:11,319 Speaker 3: And you're absolutely right. 737 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,920 Speaker 16: Around the world, extreme weather events are impacting the most 738 00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:16,840 Speaker 16: vulnerable communities. But the way to think about the Global 739 00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:20,719 Speaker 16: Citizen platform is, yes, people know us for our festivals. 740 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:23,879 Speaker 16: But inherently we're a digital platform and we camp having 741 00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:24,840 Speaker 16: three hundred and. 742 00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:26,399 Speaker 3: Sixty five days a year. 743 00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,960 Speaker 16: People engage with our content and we're always finding ways, 744 00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 16: novel ways to meet people where they're at. So we're 745 00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:36,200 Speaker 16: on TikTok, we're on Instagram, We're finding ways to engage 746 00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,919 Speaker 16: people who may not even have access to Wi Fi 747 00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,600 Speaker 16: in developing countries as well. And what we're seeing is 748 00:35:43,719 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 16: record levels of engagement. Even as social media becomes more fragmented, 749 00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:52,320 Speaker 16: we're actually seeing our citizens looking for a way to 750 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,640 Speaker 16: express their agency to take action, such as calling on 751 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,760 Speaker 16: the UK government to follow through on its commitments around 752 00:35:58,800 --> 00:35:59,839 Speaker 16: climate financing. 753 00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:02,440 Speaker 2: So where does Rischie Sunac, who at the moment perhaps 754 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:05,160 Speaker 2: is getting a lot of criticism for not really focusing 755 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 2: on the climate agenda. 756 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:08,000 Speaker 4: How do you tackle him? 757 00:36:08,040 --> 00:36:10,640 Speaker 2: Where are your citizens going to how you present your 758 00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:12,040 Speaker 2: case to Rishi that he should care. 759 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:16,200 Speaker 16: So we have global citizens in every single constituency across 760 00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,000 Speaker 16: the United Kingdom, for instance, And what we see, and 761 00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:21,600 Speaker 16: this is mirrored around the world, is two thirds of 762 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,600 Speaker 16: people around the world are saying that they favor clean power, 763 00:36:24,600 --> 00:36:27,600 Speaker 16: particularly solar energy, over fossil fuelds. 764 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:28,800 Speaker 13: Right so we're actually seeing. 765 00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,680 Speaker 16: If you look at where people are at, it's an 766 00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 16: entirely centrist message and we believe that the UK government, 767 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,280 Speaker 16: especially with the Prime Minister's remarks over the last few days, 768 00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:40,040 Speaker 16: is on the wrong side of history and global citizens 769 00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,440 Speaker 16: have been calling him out. They've been contacting their local 770 00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 16: member of parliament, and we're also calling on the Labor 771 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:49,239 Speaker 16: opposition Sir Keir Starmer, if he's elected Prime Minister, to 772 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 16: stand up and not backtrack because you need Britain. Britain 773 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 16: has been a leader on climate change and through our 774 00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:58,719 Speaker 16: digital platform, it's a way for citizens not just too 775 00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:00,359 Speaker 16: whining and complying. 776 00:37:00,239 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 4: About these issues about that online pop I. 777 00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 13: Know, I know, but we can take action. 778 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:06,000 Speaker 16: We can actually do something and the data shows when 779 00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,480 Speaker 16: you do something that also gives us hope as well. 780 00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:10,439 Speaker 5: You know, Michael, in the last time when I was saying, 781 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:12,560 Speaker 5: this is like live aid. But in the in the 782 00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,879 Speaker 5: social media era, we talk so much on the show 783 00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,640 Speaker 5: Carry don't we about the health of social media platforms 784 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,839 Speaker 5: right now? Knowing that what stands out is authentic, legitimate, 785 00:37:22,719 --> 00:37:24,440 Speaker 5: you know, how do you feel about that? Do you 786 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:26,920 Speaker 5: feel that you are able to get a direct message 787 00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 5: out through the content that you're sharing. 788 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 16: So live Aid Bono, Bob Godoff. We always say we 789 00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:35,640 Speaker 16: stand on the shoulders of giants, but our evolution, we 790 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 16: see action as our currency. So rather than selling tickets, 791 00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:42,480 Speaker 16: you know, we could make a few million dollars, or 792 00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,200 Speaker 16: we can give people away to take action. And people 793 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,680 Speaker 16: can take action on our platform and then take an 794 00:37:47,719 --> 00:37:50,239 Speaker 16: action their crew points and as we see tomorrow at 795 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,120 Speaker 16: the Global Citizen Festival, they can exchange those points for 796 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,239 Speaker 16: rewards like tickets as well. But we see people they 797 00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,839 Speaker 16: like to be rewarded for their action take in, but 798 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:02,760 Speaker 16: they also like to they also like to engage throughout 799 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:03,560 Speaker 16: the year as well. 800 00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:07,160 Speaker 2: So obviously you employ, well you don't employ, but you 801 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,920 Speaker 2: stand on the shoulders the celebrities to get your message across. 802 00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:12,960 Speaker 2: How do you navigate the politicization of these social media outlets? 803 00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,520 Speaker 2: How do you decide or we're going to remain on 804 00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:17,000 Speaker 2: Twitter now x even though there seems to be a 805 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,160 Speaker 2: blow up around now who owns it? Or indeed the 806 00:38:19,160 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 2: direction of travel of TikTok so I think. 807 00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,640 Speaker 16: You know a really interesting example is John Cook, right 808 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,920 Speaker 16: of BTS fame. You know, they're citizens and you can 809 00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,719 Speaker 16: see the engagement going on. To be honest, they don't 810 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:33,600 Speaker 16: really care which platform. I think what you see, whether 811 00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,880 Speaker 16: it's on Instagram or you see it on Twitter, you 812 00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:40,279 Speaker 16: see record numbers of engagement in the issues.
