When the hedge fund Elliott Management pursued the acquisition of the oil refinery business Citgo a few years ago, the deal was already a complicated one. A US court had ordered its current owner, Venezuela, to sell the business, and the country was ... more

The program on Fidelity was interesting. Unfortunately, the presenters did not discuss how Fidelity is likely to address the problems and challenges of selling private equity assets to retail investors and 401k account holders. The issues associated with private equity assets are frequently highlighted in the Financial Times! This foray into the private equity world is not going to end well.

In almost 30 minutes of discussion about OpenAI no one discussed the obvious. For OpenAI to massively grow revenue they have to stay in the lead. Anthropic, Google, xAI, and even Deepseek will have something to say about that.

I really enjoy Behind the Money podcasts and this one about GE Vernon is a good example. The podcast provided good information but am sorry to note that the speech quality of Amanda Chu makes it so difficult to understand. Please, please get some speech training, you are a great reporter,
Michaela Tindera, - keep up the great work.
Disappointed not in the firing FCT story but in the complete lack of balance. Editorial team were clearly anti-Trump. Desperately lacking in neutral or balanced reporting. Really just a piece of political activism sold as journalism. Poor.
