“I strongly believe in the factthat there’s still plenty of money and plenty of private equity capitalavailable around the globe. What are in short supply are great entrepreneursand great teams. A trading opportunity or a company’s biggestchallenge is and has always been the team behind it. There’s enormouschange under way in every facet of the world. Some is technologydriven, some is market driven. All that change creates unprecedentedopportunity, but to take full advantage of such opportunities I mostlyfocus on the team. The right teams and right people behind thoseopportunities always win. There is no secret sauce. Trading and investinghas, in my experience, boiled down to building relationships andexchanging value. It consists of striking the right balance betweenbacking and interacting with the right teams with the right businessmodel at the right time and with the right amount of money.”
