As CIO, I will help to maintain an opportunistic approach, while ensuring that risks are fully understood and that we keep our investment focus on delivering the best results for our investors. Investment products, like our Global Long-Short Fund and our concentrated investment strategies, are also broadening investor choice. The way that people receive information has changed as well. But regardless of whether people are finding us in the Wall Street Journal or on the Internet-getting strong returns will never be obsolete. That's what I spend my time thinking about.
Market volatility is one of the few certainties in the capital markets-it is inevitable.
Some volatility comes from a changing and dynamic world, and some comes from the human emotion that accompanies it. But volatility is to be expected, and we try to make it work to our advantage by having a deep understanding of the fundamentals underlying the companies we invest in. I spend time with my family and do a good amount of reading. I'm currently interested in two books. One of them, Maestro, is about Alan Greenspan.
