Private scandals that derailed tech execs’ careers; Neha Nagar’s new book on helping people invest
Executive exits can result from violations of company policies, even when no criminal wrongdoing has been established. Brian Krzanich resigned from Intel over a consensual subordinate relationship, while Phaneesh Murthy was dismissed by iGate for failing to disclose a relationship.
Erik Lundberg, the investment director at the University of Michigan, has debunked a common misconception about private equity investments. In a podcast episode from Handelsblatt Invest, he stated that there is no inherent illiquidity premium for private equity funds. Lundberg clarified that simply holding investments in private equity funds for several years does not guarantee that these funds will outperform the stock market.
Lundberg is a highly respected foundation manager in the United States, known for consistently delivering above-average returns. During the podcast, he also discussed Europe's potential to catch up in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) and why Europe is particularly interested in this area. Additionally, in the same episode, Market Analyst Maximilian Wienke from Etoro talked about the risks associated with Nvidia's stock following the controversy involving CEO Jensen Huang.
