Podcast Episode 5: Founder Series - Paula Volent and Luke Ellis
In the first of our Founder series podcasts, one of our newest Trustees Paula Volent (CIO of Rockefeller University) is joined by our Deputy Chair Luke Ellis (CEO of Man Group – one of the founders of the SBAI) to look back at how it all started and how the industry is evolving.
They discuss the SBAI, where to find alpha, diversity and more.
Mario Therrien, the former Chair of the SBAI and Head of Investment Funds at CDPQ, reflects on his tenure, while Jane Buchan, CEO of Martlet Asset Management and the new SBAI Chair, shares her vision for the future.
In the wake of the reversal of the SEC’s Private Fund Adviser Rules, the weight of transparency and fairness in alternative funds now lies on managers and investors.
Independent Fund Directors are vital to safeguard investor interests. As the model of directorship has evolved, stakeholders must navigate new challenges to ensure strong governance.
The SBAI supports the latest efforts by the regulators to understand and address any potential risks emanating from non-bank financial institutions (NBFI) and welcomes findings which indicate resilience in the financial system despite prior concerns.
In our response to this Consultation, we outline our thoughts on how existing industry practices could be improved to achieve the desired outcomes, while highlighting our concerns in relation to the publication of early details related to ongoing enforcement cases.
