Speaker 4: The price of.

15
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 3: Oil has steadied following its biggest one day jump in

16
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 3: almost a year. The move follows concerns that Israel may

17
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: decide to strike Iranian crude facilities in response to Tehran's

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 3: missile barrage. Earlier this week, Brent surged by five percent

19
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 3: after President Joe Biden said the US was discussing whether

20
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,680

24
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 6: We're under structure, a big down reel old anyway.

25
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 3: The Middle East accounts for about a third of the

26
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 3: world's oil supply, and Iran is the large third largest

27
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 3: producer in OPEC. The spiking prices comes as fears grow

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: of an all out war in the Middle East. On Thursday,

29
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 3: Israel said it bombed more than a dozen Hesbala targets

30
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: in Beirut, while G seven countries warned against an uncontrolled

31
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: cycle of escalation.

32
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 2: France's Prime minister says planned tax increases will hit about

33
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 2: three hundred of the country's biggest companies. Speaking during an

34
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 2: interview at Transitor Television, Michelle Bonnie says he's not happy

35
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 2: about the move, but the increase will be a temporary one,

36
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: lasting for one or two years.

37
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 7: I'm there will be a two thirds reduction in public

38
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,040
Speaker 7: spending and that will be very difficult. One third will

39
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 7: come from an exceptionally temporary targeted tax on whom I

40
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 7: will tell you, from the biggest French companies, those that

41
00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 7: make one billion or more in turnover.

42
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: That's Michelle Bargnier there speaking through a translator. The measure

43
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: is intended to help rein in the French budget deficit.

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 2: Barnier says tax increases for individuals will be increased for

45
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 2: the wealthiest, which he defines as a couple with an

46
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: annual income of half a million euros or more.

Speaker 3: Fast Fashi and Shean is taking the next step in

48
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 3: its journey to become a public company. That's despite still

49
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 3: awaiting official sign off for the move. Bloomberg Tea at

Speaker 3: a Bio has the details.

51
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 5: Worth an estimated fifty billion pounds, Shean's IPO would make

52
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,400
Speaker 5: it one of the biggest London listings in the last decade.

53
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 8: Now.

54
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 5: Sources say the retailer is holding early investor meetings to prepare.

55
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 5: It's been a complicated process for the brand, which some

56
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 5: have accused of using forced labor practices after plans for

57
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 5: a New York flotation when met with opposition from lawmakers.

58
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 5: Bloomberg understands she In confidentially filed papers in the UK,

59
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 5: but the idea has also sparked backlash here. Just last month,

60
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 5: the chair of the Commons Business and Trade Committee called

61
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 5: for greater scrutiny of the company's supply chain. A company

62
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 5: spokesperson said at the time that she has a zero

63
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 5: tolerance policy for forced labor in London to you, added

Speaker 5: Bayo Bloomberg Radio.

65
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 2: HSBC is said to be canceling some events and further

66
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: curtailing travel as the bank's new CEO seeks to keep

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 2: a tight lid on casts. Sources say have recently scrapped

68
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 2: a summat of commercial bankers in India, as well as

69
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 2: some other off side events around the world. The bank

70
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 2: has already slowed hiring and asked investment bankers to rein

71
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: in their travel and expenses.

72
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 3: Dock workers at US East and Gulf Coast Ports have

73
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: agreed to start moving cargo again. That's as they continue

74
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 3: collective bargaining with their employers on a new contract. Bloomberg's

75
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:56,559
Speaker 3: Scott car.

76
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 6: Reports the long Shoreman's Association in the US Aritime Alliance

77
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 6: say they've reached a tentative agreement on wages and we'll

78
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 6: extend their existing master contract through this January fifteenth, at

79
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 6: which point Bloomberg's Managing editor of Economic Policy, Kate Davidson

80
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 6: says they'll still have to negotiate several outstanding issues.

81
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 9: One of the things that they wanted were greater protections

82
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,120
Speaker 9: against the kind of automation that we've seen at ports

83
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 9: on the West Coast, and so that was a real

84
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 9: sticking point. This tensitive agreement doesn't address that, but it

85
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 9: does go some way toward addressing some of the wage demands.

86
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 9: So they've agreed to a temporary deal that would at

87
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 9: least allow them to start moving cargo again.

88
00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 6: Davidson says both sides were apparently under heavy pressure from

89
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,200
Speaker 6: the White House to come to an agreement in Washington.

90
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 6: I'm Scott Carr Bloomberg Radio.

91
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 2: Mark Zuckerberg is now the world's second richest person the

92
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: meta platform CEO and founders Networth Nicetown's at just over

93
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,480
Speaker 2: two hundred and six billion dollars according to the Bloomberg

94
00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: Billionaires Index port Zuckerberg just ahead of Jeff Bezos, but

95
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 2: still around fifty billion dollars behind Elon Musk, who retains

96
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 2: the top spot. Shares and Meto continued to climb in

97
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 2: recent months as investors become more confident in the company's

98
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: bet on the metaverse. In a moment will bring you

99
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 2: more on those rising tensions in the Middle East, plus

100
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 2: a story showing how even the biggest names in investing

101
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: can struggle to build a top flight hedge fund. Put first,

102
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,760
Speaker 2: another story that caught her eye this morning, the quest

103
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: to bring back the Dodo, among others. I should point

104
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: out in case you think that one extinct bird was

105
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 2: getting special treatment. So this is the latest investment that's

106
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,160
Speaker 2: going into a startup called Colossal Biosciences. It's the Lord

107
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 2: of the Rings director Peter Jackson and his partner, producer

108
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: fran Walsh, putting ten million dollars into this company. Their

109
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 2: mission to try and bring back the likes of the Dodo,

110
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 2: the Wooly mammoth, the Tasmanian tiger. The process involves, and

111
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 2: I'm not a scientist, so forgive me collecting ancient genetic

112
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,960
Speaker 2: material from museums and fossils and combining them with their

113
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: closest surviving specie. Lizzy, you look skeptical.

114
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 3: I wonder if he knows that you can't bring back

115
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 3: the hobbit.

116
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 4: But look, if Harry's back is one of the questions.

117
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:08,919
Speaker 4: But yeah, if.

118
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 3: Paris Hilton and the Winkleboss Twins are investing that, obviously

119
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 3: this is a good idea.

120
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 2: I mean, look, it's it's very ambitious. Certainly, by the way,

121
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: in case you're wondering how these investors might plan to

122
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: get their money back, the plan is is that they

123
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 2: the returns would come through spinning out the genetic engineering

124
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: technology developed along the way. Certainly a big bet in

125
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 2: attracting some big names as well.

126
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 4: Can I bring back my own Calalin then, I mean,

127
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:32,720
Speaker 4: I'm not getting into that. That's a whole of the

128
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 4: cattle of fish.

129
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 3: I really need to learn how this works. But should

130
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 3: we get back to the serious news of the morning

131
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: to the Middle East. Now, Israel has bombed more his

132
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 3: blood sites in Beyrout as we await the country's response

133
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 3: to the Iranian missile barrage. Earlier this week, a statement

134
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,200
Speaker 3: from the G seven called on countries in the region

135
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,720
Speaker 3: to quote act responsibly and with restraint and our a

136
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: mere News director Roslyn Matheson joins US now for more ros.

137
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 3: We had oil prices jumping yesterday after President Joe Biden

138
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: said that they were discussing these attacks. Is that now

139
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 3: thought to be the most likely option being considered?

140
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 10: Well, it seems like Joe Biden has ruled out the

141
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 10: US assisting Israel if they were to try and target

142
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 10: Israel's nuclear facilities, and it's very doubtful that Israel could

143
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 10: do that on its own, so that seems to be

144
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 10: off the table, and that would really be pardon the pun,

145
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 10: the nuclear option here. That would be the thing that

146
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 10: would really trigger escalation in the region. These are the

147
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 10: nuclear enrichment facilities in Iran. They're deeply guarded, and they're

148
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 10: deeply underground, and they're very hard to get to, and.

149
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 8: That's for a reason, obviously.

150
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 10: But the conversation is really about what kind of response

151
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 10: Israel can do needs to do here. Because the blizzard

152
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 10: that we saw from Iran was slightly different from the

153
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 10: one in April. These were just ballistic missiles, so they

154
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:53,400
Speaker 10: got there a lot faster.

155
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 8: So there was an element of surprise there.

156
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 10: There was some risks that they were going to hit

157
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 10: cities as a result, did appear to even get through,

158
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 10: and so for Israel now it's like they can't just

159
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 10: do what they did back in April, which would send

160
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 10: some drones to an Iranian military site and call themselves done.

161
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 10: It does there is a conversation around maybe targeting is

162
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 10: Iran's oil infrastructure, that obviously would be significant, not only

163
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 10: for Iran, but also for the oil market, for the

164
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 10: global supply.

165
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 8: We've seen oil generally shrug off.

166
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 10: The tensions in the Middle East this year, and that's

167
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 10: because they're not that worried about supply. But if you

168
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 10: get supply affected from Iran, then you've got a major

169
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 10: change for the market. So do they hit a military site,

170
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 10: do they hit oil installations? It seems to be one

171
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 10: of those two, But it seems like the nuclear sites

172
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 10: are off the.

173
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 2: Table, okay, so or the focus now on oil and

174
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 2: potentially other options involved there as well. At the same time,

175
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 2: ras we've had Israel striking more targets in Lebanon.

176
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,319
Speaker 4: What do we know about the situation on the ground

177
00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: there well.

178
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 10: As you were saying, that hit about another dozen sites

179
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 10: in Beirut overnight. Authorities say that a number of people

180
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,839
Speaker 10: were killed, particularly in a medical facility that seems to

181
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 10: be affiliated with Hesbelah. So you do have a continuation

182
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 10: of heavy stripes on Beirut itself, but you also have

183
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 10: Israeli troops still operating over the border into Lebanon, and

184
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 10: that's what Israel has said is going to be targeted

185
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 10: and limited action. It's very unclear how many Israeli troops

186
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 10: are there, but we do know they are engaging, it

187
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 10: seems with Hesbela over the border. There's been reports of

188
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 10: a number of skirmishes in different villages, certainly of some

189
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 10: firefights that are going on. So it doesn't seem that

190
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 10: it's going to stay necessarily limited and targeted.

191
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 8: Of course, for Israel, the questions do they.

192
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 10: Get pulled in over the border in a protracted fashion.

193
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 10: So we are seeing really multiple fronts now inside Lebanon

194
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 10: for Israel, both in terms of air strikes that are

195
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,080
Speaker 10: continuing on Beirut and their troops operating on the ground

196
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 10: just over the border.

197
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 3: Well, where you've got the G seven statement calling for

198
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 3: a restraint, Is anyone going to listen.

199
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 8: The G seven? That is the question.

200
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,480
Speaker 10: The G seven has been calling for a restraint and

201
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 10: a lot of things for a long period of time,

202
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 10: not just in the Middle East, but also obviously when

203
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 10: it comes to the Russia's war with Ukraine, and the

204
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 10: question is does Iran and Israel really listen to.

205
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 8: Anybody at this point?

206
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 10: I mean, if the Israeli administration is not necessarily taking

207
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 10: strong cues from the US. It's single biggest ally militarily

208
00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 10: and so on. Then is it going to listen to

209
00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 10: calls from restraint from the G seven. Of course, we've

210
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 10: seen the G seven calling for ceasefires in Gaza for

211
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,400
Speaker 10: nearly a year now with the war that's going on

212
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:47,720
Speaker 10: there and obviously now in Lebanon, and keen to try

213
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 10: and create the environment for that to happen and to

214
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 10: facilitate talks on it. But what the G seven can

215
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 10: tangibly do, aside from perhaps discuss further sanctions on Iran,

216
00:10:58,200 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 10: you know, it is really hard to see.

217
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 2: Whereas as we're waiting to see what Israel does next,

218
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 2: I'm curious about the position that Banjaminetta Yahu is. Then

219
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: he had been criticized at home over his handling of

220
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 2: the war in Gaza. Does this escalation on several fronts

221
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:17,559
Speaker 2: strength and his political possession in Israel, Well.

222
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 10: There have been ebbs and flows in his position, in

223
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 10: his position at home, and certainly he's quite hemmed in

224
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 10: by the Right, and he in fact that sort of

225
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,440
Speaker 10: of his own making in a way, because of the

226
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 10: deals he's done with the right in Israel, his personal

227
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 10: popularity does seem to ebb and flow. But in these moments,

228
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 10: of course, a great challenge for Israel. You do see

229
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 10: people tending to rally behind the government on this, and

230
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 10: certainly the feeling that for people who've been living in

231
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 10: the north of Israel that they do want to return

232
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 10: to their homes. They've been unable to return to their

233
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 10: homes because of shelling by Hesbalah for almost a year now.

234
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 10: There's a strong desire to do that across the country,

235
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:00,600
Speaker 10: and so you can say that that.

236
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 8: Is a unifying point in a way for the government.

237
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 10: They're doing this because they want to create a safe space,

238
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 10: they say, for all Israel's for all Israelis inside Israel,

239
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 10: and so that might be a moment again of support

240
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 10: for Benjamin Netnia, who in the broader run, of course,

241
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,199
Speaker 10: there are big questions about his leadership.

242
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 3: Okay, Armia News director Roslyn Matheson, we thank you for

243
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 3: the update.

244
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 2: Next to a story from the hedge fund industry. Three

245
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 2: years ago, Ed Eisler left his job leading Goldman Sachs

246
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 2: as trading division set up his own fund, capitalizing on

247
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 2: a rush of money into multi strategy firms. He's a

248
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 2: big name at Goldman, but three years then Isisler Capital

249
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: is losing money, showing how hard it is to build

250
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: a top flight hedge fund. Our headphond reporter Nahan Kumar

251
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,079
Speaker 2: joins us now for more details on this story in

252
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 2: Nishankum Morning. Tell us a bit more then about Ed

253
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: Eisler and Sam Wisnia, who was another big Goldman name

254
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 2: who joined him in this venture.

255
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 11: I mean Ed Eisler is one of the best names

256
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 11: in the industry right now. He spent two decades at Goldman.

257
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 11: He was one of the best and brightest in the

258
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:07,560
Speaker 11: words of Goldman's CEO. Then he swiftly progressed in his career,

259
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 11: becoming a partner by the age of just thirty, eventually

260
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:16,040
Speaker 11: climbing the corporate ladder and he ran the once money

261
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 11: spinning trading division of Goldman. In terms of his origin,

262
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,679
Speaker 11: he was born in Russia and raised in Austria. At

263
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,479
Speaker 11: the age of eighteen, he moved to US for studies.

264
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 11: He got his first taste of finance working at Lehman Brothers,

265
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 11: where he did Masters in Applied Mathematics in the evening,

266
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,520
Speaker 11: you know, that's one of the toughest thing to do.

267
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 11: When at Goldman, he worked alongside some of the top

268
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 11: bankers at the time, including Pablo Solami, who is now

269
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 11: the co chief investment officer at another giant multistrat a citadel.

270
00:13:55,920 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 11: In terms of him and his contact with wesneya like,

271
00:14:01,040 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 11: they both know each other since the late nineteen nineties.

272
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 11: So this joint venture, this partnership goes long way back.

273
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 11: You know, they walk together at Goldman then try they

274
00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 11: tried to set up a private equity firm initially before

275
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 11: reuniting at Isler Capital in twenty eighteen.

276
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 3: And so how has Isisler Capital actually performed compared to

277
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: its rivals and then what went wrong?

278
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 8: They shan't so performance wise.

279
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 11: The previous two years were descent. In twenty twenty two

280
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 11: they made fourteen percent, twenty three they were up nine percent.

281
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 11: This year has been really tough. They are losing money

282
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:49,120
Speaker 11: so far as of September, and that compares with most

283
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 11: of their bigger rivals nearly making double digit returns. So

284
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 11: by comparison, you know, they are not doing well this year.

285
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,040
Speaker 11: And in terms of what went wrong. Look, I mean

286
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 11: this is a very very tough industry. They are a

287
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 11: new player in the market. It's incredibly tough to break

288
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 11: into the multistrat world. They find themselves trying to grow

289
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 11: amid a brutal and expensive war for talent. I mean,

290
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 11: multistrats are all about the kind of people you can hire,

291
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 11: the traders who can make money for you all the time,

292
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 11: persistently without losing. As an expert says in our story,

293
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 11: it's like building a Goldman's Ax from scratch. You need

294
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 11: a dozen highly played paid teams, world class infrastructure, in

295
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 11: a NASA caliber risk management. They have all that, but

296
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 11: it takes really long long time to become larger and

297
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 11: bigger and effective in this multistract world.

298
