Speaker 1: at Bloomberg dot com Slash podcast. Let's get into the

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: cloud right now. We've got Ido Susan with us, founder

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: of drive nets UM. He had founded Into Sales Sol

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: Cisco worked for them for a while UM, but now

10
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: he's back out there building a bigger company. You've got, uh,

11
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,720
Speaker 1: I know what, two hundred two hundred million dollars in

12
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 1: funding already. Yes, So what are you doing at drive nets?

13
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: What's your main focus after coming out of Into Sell

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,680
Speaker 1: and Cisco. I will go it's basically to change the

15
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: network and the Internet infrastructure design and building operators of today,

16
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: supporting with the custom of the operators like A T

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: and T and other UM to reduce a cost per

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 1: bit and to create new revenue because the way that

19
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: we consume the network UM as consumer enterprise different change

20
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: dramatically and the network didn't. And we are here to

21
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: support and then drive the transformation to the cloud. Yeah,

22
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: you would think that a lot of that would have

23
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,040
Speaker 1: been accelerated to the pandemic, But somehow we look at

24
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: our country and we're still pretty woefully behind. It is

25
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: that fair to say? Um? If you you know, we

26
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: operate worldwide, so the US market advancing in this area.

27
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: But I think, um, the boorders between consumers and enterprise

28
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: does not exist anymore. Our home it's our new office.

29
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,640
Speaker 1: And if the operators will not focusing to all out

30
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: fiber to the home five G WiFi C capability, um,

31
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: we will not be able to walk to study from

32
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 1: home and to support the demand. Yeah, I'm looking for

33
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: houses right now in the Tri state area, and every

34
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: place that I look at takes pains to point out

35
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: there's room for a home office. It's it's recently been rewired,

36
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: you know, or if it hasn't, it just stays on

37
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: the market for a hundred and fifty days and nobody,

38
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: nobody wants to buy it. How is it competing ido

39
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: with your former employer, with behemos like Cisco and Juniper

40
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: and these gigantic companies. How do you get um, I

41
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: know you recently got a contract with a T and T.

42
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: How do you get contracts um with with with these

43
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: huge clients when you have to compete with you know,

44
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: the biggest goliaths in the world. First of all, as

45
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: you mentioned, um, Um, you know Cisco was a qualet

46
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: my previous company. And I'm not forget what I'm coming from,

47
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: the amazing company and also the rest of the incumbent

48
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: in this industry. But because I'm coming from Cisco, I

49
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: know how it's how then almost unpossible to change that

50
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: you're doing business because you need to support the stock,

51
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: you need to run after the quarterly revenue, and to

52
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: do transformation to your technology and the way that you

53
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: are selling and create a value to the customer. It's

54
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: very hard, um. So you know we are here to

55
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: do challenge money. It's not our drive anymore. And we

56
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: are here to transform um the network industry, begin industry

57
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 1: and to create value and the customer. Like A T

58
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: and T and other looking for the startups like us

59
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: that will help them to disrupt the way that they

60
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 1: are operate and build their network in order to again

61
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: create new revenue and too, would you say the cost

62
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: I'm wondering also with the shift to the home office.

63
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: What the cybersecurity concerns are. I know that's a huge

64
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: issue that a lot of employers are struggling with. Yes, cybersecurity,

65
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: it's a big thread all over. UM. It's not related

66
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: only to home, to our mobile, to our privacy. UM.

67
00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: We see a lot of challenges. I think, UM, the

68
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: way and the opportunity for the operators UM to help

69
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: to protect our privacy and to help to drive more

70
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 1: security to any type of device that we all connected,

71
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: if it's IoT, mobile, home, you name it. UM, it's

72
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: a big opportunity and I think, UM, I cannot share

73
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: too much, but I can tell you that they are

74
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 1: walking around it and this is one of the revenue

75
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: generation that they all play to have in the next

76
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 1: coming years. And of course it would benefit of US.

77
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: I know we had recently uh a US infrastructure buil

78
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 1: five billion dollars in new spending has earmarked a pretty

79
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: sizeable piece, UM for what you're doing, and I'm sure

80
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: other countries also are going to be spending money to

81
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 1: try and improve the infrastructure. How much of a boost

82
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: will that give you over the coming years. It's a

83
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: huge boost boost, UM, we see it. Yes, as you mentioned,

84
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: it's not only here in the state, it's all over,

85
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: it's worldwide. UM. It's help us. UM, it's help our

86
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: customer to moderate their infrastructure and to think out of

87
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: the box. And also for US, it's UM we're getting

88
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: a big and very nice contracts to move ahead. UM.

89
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: I think it's just the beginning. I think more and

90
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,239
Speaker 1: more money will go from government to those infrastructure because

91
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: everybody understands that if you want to move ahead with

92
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: any segment, if it's healthcare, if it's education, if it's

93
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: you name it, you need very robust infrastructure, networking infrastructure

94
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: to support the demand of the traffic. UM. And the

95
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: way to do it it's with technology like US and

96
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: others as well, UM, that we help to convert it

97
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: to be cloud based solutions, software based solution. UM. So

98
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,159
Speaker 1: I think it's just the beginning. Yeah. Absolutely. I'm still

99
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 1: working on upgrading my electric panels and after I get

100
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 1: past that, then I'll boost the cloud computing power of

101
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: my house. Ido, thanks so much for joining us. Ido

102
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: Susan there. He is the founder of drive nets, coming

103
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 1: out of into Cell and Cisco. Talking to us about

104
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: the move away from hardware and into the cloud. That

105
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: we've all taken part in over the past few years,

106
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: but we need to accelerate. I promised you we would

107
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,799
Speaker 1: talk about corporate governance and UM E s G investing.

108
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 1: Maya Becker joins us. She's the director of Corporate Governance

109
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: Responsible Investment with rbc UM and Maya, it's great to

110
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: have you on. You know, there was a time when

111
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: we would have thought of this maybe as a fat

112
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: as a trend, but it now seems like a strategy.

113
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: How do you see it? Yes, thank you so much

114
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 1: for having me. Absolutely, we are seeing that the E

115
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: s G and climate change is absolutely top of mind

116
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: for institutional and sters. Rbc GAM actually just completed out

117
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: fifth innual Responsible Investment survey of eight hund global institutional

118
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: asset managers and it showed that not only our investors

119
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,559
Speaker 1: concerned and interested in E s G, but climate change

120
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: is their top priority after anti corruption and cyber security.

121
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:21,760
Speaker 1: And for those that care about E s G, their

122
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: top E s G concern is climate change. And this

123
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 1: concern and this focus is really more felt, certainly by

124
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: European investors who are paying the closest attention, and we

125
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: see regulation as a real key driver of that. I

126
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: am curious about developed versus undeveloped nations here or under

127
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: developed nations. You know, we were having a conversation this

128
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: morning with a representative from Mercy Corps was doing work

129
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,679
Speaker 1: in Nigeria and really talking about the lack of support

130
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: that they were getting as a lot of conflict was

131
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: breaking out in the country over climate related issues. Do

132
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: you think that these promises being made a COP twenty

133
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: six or going to start moving the needle for the

134
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: countries that need it most. I think that's a great question,

135
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: and what we're seeing at the COP twenty six Climate

136
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: Conference is really there are a lot of high level

137
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: commitments that are being made by governments. One of the

138
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 1: key focuses of those conversations and negotiations is how advanced

139
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: economy can provide support to developing nations, exactly what you're

140
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: referring to their I think what we're going to want

141
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:28,000
Speaker 1: to see moving away from COP as COPS closes very shortly,

142
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: is how do those commitments start to turn into government frameworks,

143
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: policies or legislations and what are the actions that governments

144
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: will be taking as they walk and leave COP twenty

145
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,679
Speaker 1: six with those commitments made, and will that actually generate

146
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: support for developing nations too, in many ways are those

147
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: that are most vulnerable to climate change, and that is

148
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: a really important piece. As the investors when we look

149
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 1: at E. S G and we look at climate change,

150
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: our focus is really on integrating climate change into the

151
00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: investment process, and that means looking at how climate risks

152
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 1: and opportunities will impact different sectors and different geographies, because

153
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: they'll each be impacted in different ways, and we need

154
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,959
Speaker 1: to be taking those considerations into account when we look

155
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: at our investments. And government has a key role to

156
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: play in addressing climate change and in supporting that just

157
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: an orderly transition for all global nations. And it feels

158
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: to me like we'd rather pass out band aids to

159
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: underdeveloped nations than fix the gaping wounds in our own Um.

160
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: We can't even in the US, in Germany, in France

161
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: agree to phase out internal combustion engines at our manufacturers

162
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: over the next twenty years. I mean, it's I feel

163
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 1: like COP twenty six achieved really very little in terms

164
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: of meaningful commitments from the biggest nations. Am I wrong?

165
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: Am I being too cynical? Well? I think, firstly, if

166
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 1: we think of what we can take away from COP

167
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: twenty six and it is still long agoing, there's still

168
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 1: a few days left here. As we did see governments

169
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 1: make some significant cap commitments that CAUGHT twenty six new

170
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: climate pledges, which will do this year since it is

171
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: the fifth conference after the Paris Agreement, and that is

172
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: something to take encouragement from those commitments that are being made.

173
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 1: They're also specific sectors we're so far off from We're

174
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: so far off from hitting the climate pledges we made

175
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: it Paris in two thousand fifteen. I mean, what's the

176
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: point in making new promises if we can't even meet

177
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: the old ones. Well, what will be important is when

178
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: we leave CAUGHT twenty six is seeing how these pledges

179
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 1: and these commitments get turned into policies and practices and

180
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: looking at what those sector transition plans are, because I

181
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: think that's what we're talking about here. How does each

182
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: sector transition to net what does that look like? What

183
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 1: is the price on carbon, what are the subsidies, what

184
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: are the commitments that are made at a sector level,

185
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 1: because each of those sectors needs to have a plan

186
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: of how they're going to transition to net zero the

187
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: climate change and why it's so complex and challenging is

188
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: because it affects all sectors and all geographies, although in

189
00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 1: different ways. And what we do need to be able

190
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: to find is to be able to find solutions that

191
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: bring all sectors along that pathway to that zero when

192
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,319
Speaker 1: he said that give us is a direction, but you're right,

193
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't give us an indication of the speed of

194
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: travel and the path of that travel will take and

195
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,040
Speaker 1: just thirty seconds or so here may because you know,

196
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: there's this great question now in the US about the

197
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: disclosures needed out of the SEC. Do you think that

198
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: that can be done this year in a way that's

199
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,719
Speaker 1: meaningful to someone like you? Well, I think disclosures absolutely

200
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: is a priority. We need a single, ideally global sustainability

201
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: of reporting standard for investors in order to integrate and

202
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: consider how fun it is impacting an individual issue where

203
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: we need that information to be consistent, comparable, and publicly disclosed.

204
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: We're starting to see more interest from regulators in putting

205
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: in place those consistent and comparable disclosures. What I would

206
00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:00,200
Speaker 1: say we did here announced um during COP is the

207
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: i f r S Foundation has formed a new International

208
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 1: Sustainability Standards Boards and the hope there is that that

209
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: will establish that common consistent standards for reporting, because absolutely

210
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: that's something investors, Nathan, it is an important piece of

211
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: all of this. Yeah, that's the key. That's that's that's

212
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: got to be a key move for you and for

213
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: your clients. UM, and that's I think what listeners investing

214
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: in E s G want to want to get more of. Maya,

215
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: thanks so much for joining us. Maya Becker is the

216
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: director of Corporate Governance and Responsible Investment over at RBC

217
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: Global Asset Management, talking to us about E s G

218
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: and COP Let's get to crypto right now. I am

219
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: pomped to talk to our next guest. Brett Harrison is

220
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: the president of f t X and UM. This is

221
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 1: a company we've been just watching absolutely explode. Brett, thanks

222
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: so much for coming on the program with us. Let's

223
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 1: talk about the um accept the broader acceptance crypto. It's

224
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: been amazing to me. Ten years ago, I spent two

225
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: weeks living only on bitcoin, stopped using dollars, and it

226
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: was kind of a side show. It was a clown event.

227
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 1: It was silly. It worked, but um, it was an oddity.

228
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: Let's say, and now everybody, uh in every age group,

229
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:21,960
Speaker 1: in every walk of life wants to know something or

230
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: does thinks they know something about crypto. How have you

231
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 1: experienced the acceptance? Yeah, I think personally, I have a

232
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: similar story. You know, before joining f t X, had

233
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 1: very little experience with crypto. I had primarily been in

234
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: the proprietary trading space on the equities and equity prohibitive

235
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: side for my whole career, and coming to crypto it

236
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: was very new to me as well. But it does

237
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: feel like it is. It's ubiquitous now. Everyone wants to

238
00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 1: know something about crypto, understand the space, either invest in

239
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 1: it or build on top of it. And it's more

240
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: than just you know, a potential new currency or a

241
00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: means of transfer. It an entire technology platform that people

242
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,200
Speaker 1: really excited for the applications of. Now. I'm really curious

243
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,440
Speaker 1: about what you think about the Bitcoin versus ethereum debate,

244
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: because on one hand, you know, I could talked to,

245
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: for example, Elizabeth Stark of Lightning Labs last week, and

246
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,599
Speaker 1: for someone like her, bitcoin is the ultimate crypto to

247
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: be building things on top of. But if you talk

248
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: to someone like Ken Griffin, he believes that Bitcoin will

249
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 1: be eventually replaced in concept by ethereum. How do you

250
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: make sense of a debate like that? Sure, you know,

251
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 1: I think that one really needs to dig into the

252
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: details of these different cryptos and why they're built and

253
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: what they're used for to understand them. Bitcoin and ethereum

254
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 1: have very different applications. You know, Bitcoin itself was was

255
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 1: the first real crypto to gain mass adopting, so it

256
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: has that staying power. But Ethereum is coming something some

257
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 1: pretty separate. You know. It's a place where you can

258
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:57,720
Speaker 1: build smart contracts, you can actually build applications on top

259
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: of Ethereum. It's sort of like an Internet layer, are

260
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: some kind of software software platform, And even just those

261
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: two alone aren't going to be the only answers. You know,

262
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: there are other cryptocurrencies built on blockchains that have even

263
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: higher transactions per second, lower cost fees to do transfers,

264
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: like Salada. We're going to see more than just Bitcoin

265
00:15:16,440 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: the theoryum that have staying power in the crypto ecosystem. Yeah,

266
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:22,480
Speaker 1: I think there are big differences there that maybe Ken

267
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: Griffin doesn't take into account Um, and he might be

268
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: looking for something else rather than Um. Trying to appreciate

269
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: the diversity in the crypto space. I wonder what you

270
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:39,720
Speaker 1: think of the I've always had a question as to

271
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: why we'll necessarily need to buy whole tokens or multiple

272
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: tokens just because we like the technology platform upon which

273
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 1: they're built. For example, UM, I loved the Internet computer

274
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: when it came out. It didn't do so well, but

275
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: the idea I thought was cool and the technology was cool.

276
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: I didn't necessarily need to own a token, or if

277
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: I was going to start a business on it wouldn't

278
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: have needed to buy two. I think you make a

279
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 1: really excellent point here, which is that there's the blockchain

280
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: that's being built for particular applications, and then there's a

281
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: token associated with that blockchain or a token associated with

282
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 1: that application. And I agree with you. I don't think

283
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: we need thousands of different tokens or hundreds of different blockchains.

284
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: I think what we will see as a real consolidation

285
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: over the next couple of years, where a few winners

286
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: will emerge in terms of you know, which blockchains are

287
00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 1: actually going to be the ones that people build applications upon,

288
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,160
Speaker 1: and the others probably will die off over the time.

289
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: They don't have as many unique characteristics, or they're not

290
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 1: going to outcompete, you know, the couple best ones. But

291
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 1: what's the utility of the token? I mean, if you

292
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: build um your business off of the Ethereum blockchain, you

293
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: don't necessarily need to acquire Ether to do that, do you. Well,

294
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: you might need to use Ether in order to silicate

295
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: a transaction. So, for example, when you do an Ethereum

296
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:06,880
Speaker 1: based transaction, you need to use Ether tokens to pay

297
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: the gas fees required to do a transaction, or to

298
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: pay a smart contract to evaluate some function. So that's

299
00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: the sense in which you need the token UM. But

300
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 1: there are also applications built on top of them where

301
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 1: they use different tokens, they can convert under the hood,

302
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 1: and so it's not necessarily that you need to own

303
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:27,159
Speaker 1: them yourself in order to interact with them, you know.

304
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,359
Speaker 1: But you have such an interesting background worked at some

305
00:17:29,400 --> 00:17:32,160
Speaker 1: of the biggest market makers in the world, Jane Street,

306
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,640
Speaker 1: Citadel Securities, which is obviously is known for its relationship

307
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: with Robin Hood. These days, I'm wondering if you think,

308
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: and speaking of Robinhood, I'm wondering if you think crypto

309
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 1: how much it's truly a way to start to get

310
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:51,680
Speaker 1: financial assets into the hands of more younger people who

311
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: for a long time until now have not been trading,

312
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 1: have not been paying attention to finances um and have

313
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 1: had a mistrust for so many of you know, institutions

314
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: in finance. Absolutely, it's not just a way and in

315
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: theory and in practices is what empirically we're seeing. And

316
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,760
Speaker 1: there were um several polls done that showed that the

317
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: percentage of people who were underbanked owning crypto was actually

318
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: considerably higher than those that were banked. In addition, demographics

319
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,280
Speaker 1: that are you know, typically more minority demographics that are

320
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,280
Speaker 1: have either not had the same kind of affair access

321
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 1: to banking and investment opportunities in the past, are disproportionately

322
00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 1: involved in crypto. So I do think that there's a

323
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: there's a democratizing effect of crypto, and that it's so

324
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: low friction, so low barrier to get involved to invest

325
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,480
Speaker 1: and I think that that's why it's so popular among

326
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: young people. And also there are so many applications again

327
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: of crypto. You know, it's not just about owning a

328
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: bitcoin hoping that it goes up. Think about all the

329
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,359
Speaker 1: blockchain based gaming that we're seeing investments and including from

330
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: our own company f t X. Think about n f

331
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 1: t s and the the idea of having collectibles and

332
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: collectible art and communities around them. These are all I

333
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: think very appealing to the younger generations. Is the SEC

334
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: you going to figure out a way to regulate this stuff?

335
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,480
Speaker 1: I mean, so far they've allowed a futures based e

336
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: t F, which is I think pretty silly, um, but

337
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: it doesn't really make much sense since it's an unregulated

338
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: product to begin with. So it's a very good question

339
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: right now. People might not know that cryptocurrency exchanges are

340
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: not regulated the same way as a stock exchange or

341
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: a futures exchange. They're regulated under the finn Send Money

342
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:42,640
Speaker 1: Services Business, which is not really the most appropriate regulatory

343
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,200
Speaker 1: regime for an exchange that can have millions of transactions

344
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,159
Speaker 1: per day happening, you know, by high frequency market makers.

345
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: And so there's we are in constant dialogue with the SEC,

346
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 1: with the CFTC. We believe that there is probably going

347
00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 1: to be some sort of joint jurisdiction between these two

348
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: agencies of exactly what form we don't know, UM, that's

349
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,480
Speaker 1: going to be able to regulate these tokens because it's

350
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: it's tricky. You know, for every one of these tokens,

351
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,679
Speaker 1: they have different characteristics. Some of them have characteristics of commodities,

352
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: some of the characteristics of equities, and you know, we'll

353
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,119
Speaker 1: we'll see where the where regulation heads and then your future.

354
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: It's a very interesting point. Brett, thanks so much for

355
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: your time. Really appreciate it. Brett Harris and their president

356
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 1: of f t X talking to us about the crypto world.

357
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: Let's get over right now to Wendy Wong right now,

358
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 1: head of Sustainable Investment Partnerships at New York Life Investments. Wendy,

359
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: we were talking earlier about the trend in or the

360
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:45,240
Speaker 1: it's beyond the trend. I guess at this point the

361
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: strategy of E s G investing. How has COP twenty

362
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: six changed things for you? First of all, thank you

363
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: so much for having me in for your interest in

364
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: E s G and besting UM COP twenty Yeah, it's

365
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: a bit clear that it's a hot topic UM and

366
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: so you know, I think there's a realization that there's

367
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: only so much that governments can do UM. But there's

368
00:21:07,840 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: also a role that the private sector can play as well. Well.

369
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 1: I'm wondering the private sector as far as it goes

370
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,640
Speaker 1: do you think that some of the biggest strides can

371
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: be made there? Uh, well, you know, we always believe

372
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: that when we work together for collective goal, good things

373
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: could happen, and so that was the thinking between our

374
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 1: i Q Dual Impact e t s. So it's meant

375
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,439
Speaker 1: to have a compelling investment thesis that is investing in

376
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 1: some of these themes that are so important to us

377
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: gender equality, climate, health and well being. But there's also

378
00:21:40,560 --> 00:21:43,679
Speaker 1: UM a give back component as well. So we worked

379
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 1: with a nonprofit organization for each of these new e

380
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 1: t s and we reinvest our management fiece a portion

381
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: of our management fees back to these uh these nonprofit

382
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: organizations so they can continue doing the work they're doing.

383
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: So it's a great partnership between the private during the

384
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: public sector. So what are the themes? Talk to us

385
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,959
Speaker 1: more about the c t F product. What are the

386
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 1: themes here? We have four themes UM that we have

387
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: UM that are part of the i Q Dual Impact

388
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 1: e t F. We have a health and well being

389
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 1: theme that was designed with American Heart Association to help

390
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: people live longer, healthier lives. There's a gender equality e

391
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 1: t F that was developed with girls who code investing

392
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,360
Speaker 1: in UH companies, US companies that have demonstrated a commitment

393
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: to gender equality. There's a Cleaner Transport UM. It provides

394
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,399
Speaker 1: exposure to global companies that are helping us move to

395
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: a more environmentally efficient transportation technologies. That includes bikes, rails, UM,

396
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: buses of course, electric vehicles. But it's also beyond all

397
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: of that. It's sort of the grid and infrastructure that's

398
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,920
Speaker 1: needed to produce and UM support all of that, and

399
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: the value chain UM. And then finally, we have an

400
00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,880
Speaker 1: oceans themed e t F i Q oceans UM Clean

401
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,399
Speaker 1: Oceans e t F o C e N that was

402
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: developed to aligned with Oceana and that that it offers

403
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 1: exposure to global companies that are helping to protect and

404
00:23:07,359 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 1: achieve a cleaner ocean. Yeah. I'm curious about this because

405
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, the newer generations that want

406
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 1: to invest in socially friendly e t you know, E

407
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: t F and investment products, a lot of them feel

408
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 1: like they're getting exposures exposures to non clean items as well,

409
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: especially when you're kind of investing in things that pertain

410
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 1: to the broader market. I mean, what advice do you

411
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: have to people who really want to start to limit

412
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: their investments towards things that are good for the environment

413
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 1: and good for society. Well, there's a lot of different

414
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: ways people incorporate e s G in the portfolio. You know,

415
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: we started sort of as an industry doing negative screaming

416
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: where we're sort of screening out since stocks and um,

417
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 1: you know, fossil fuels. It's gone a lot more sophisticated. UM. So.

418
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: You know, part of New York Life Investments is a

419
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,920
Speaker 1: company called Candrium. They've been doing sustainable investing for over

420
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: twenty five years. UM and you know, they were a

421
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:11,239
Speaker 1: key key part in developing these e t F and

422
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:14,080
Speaker 1: they do a lot of scoring and screening of companies

423
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 1: that they've been doing it for a long time. They

424
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: specialize this. UM. So it's just making sure that investors

425
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,959
Speaker 1: are doing their research, UM, that the product that they

426
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: are investing it is in fact accomplishing what they wanted

427
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,440
Speaker 1: to do. And if that means more than negative screening

428
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: and you know, sort of the top of the top,

429
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: then you know that's what they should look for. UM.

430
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 1: If you don't mind, I want to double up because

431
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: if I'm looking for example, the ocean e t F

432
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: that you guys had formed. Some of the companies include,

433
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: if I'm reading this correctly, Home Depot, Microsoft, Procter and

434
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: Gamble and even Semens. Some of the companies that are

435
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,239
Speaker 1: in here, how do you really assess them on some

436
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: of the things that are doing that are good for

437
00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:00,880
Speaker 1: the environment, but also some of the things that aren't

438
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: maybe not meeting the standards that we want to see

439
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 1: you in a few years. Yeah, so for will you

440
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 1: we can use ocean right, So that investment thesis is,

441
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:13,119
Speaker 1: you know, companies that are taking steps towards mitigating harm

442
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: to the ocean. UM. You know, companies are not perfect,

443
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: no one is. We're all making we're making steps. It's

444
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,280
Speaker 1: sort of a gradual process. So it doesn't it includes

445
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: companies that are sort of um doing the best in

446
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: their sector among their peers of reaching towards that UM. So,

447
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 1: in addition to some of the stocks that you had listed,

448
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 1: it also includes um Adidas. You know, for the first

449
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: time in more than half of the polyester that are

450
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: using their products are going to come from recycled plastic waste.

451
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: We love that story. And then from four onwards their company,

452
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,239
Speaker 1: that company is committed to only using recycled polyester. So

453
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: it's that circular economy um. And you know a seafood

454
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: A seafood provider is also included from Norway and they

455
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: supply sustainably farm stand men and process seafood worldwide and

456
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,879
Speaker 1: everything that they sent out is sustainably certified. All right,

457
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: Really interesting stuff. Wendy, thanks so much for joining us

458
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: and talking to us about these products. Wendy Wong is

459
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:17,560
Speaker 1: head of Sustainable Investment Partnerships at New York Life Investments.

460
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: Talking about these thematic e t F s and the

461
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 1: broader um E s G trends that have really gone

462
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 1: beyond at this point, I think are becoming just a

463
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: mainstream strategy for investing as which we as we UH
