Business Wire reports that Norway's sovereign fund tops global transparency ranking: TORONTO — Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, Government PensionFund Global, has topped the list of the most transparent funds according to the Global Pension Transparency Benchmark’s 2023 findings.
The company is still in talks with its shareholders about raising as much as £1 billion in fresh funds following a £500 million injection agreed last year. Its largest shareholder is Canadian pensionfund Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (Omers), which holds a nearly 32 per cent stake. billion in Canadian funds.
No pensionfund wants to invest in private companies that abuse immigrant children. Independent Clinical Services, a company owned by Blackstone, was founded to have evaded £3 million in taxes in 2012 alone, the letter said. In 2007, Taylor won the $1.5M Mr. Taylor’s previous honors include the 2015 John W.
So how do you then go from tax and audit practice to finance and investing? If I’d moved to Hong Kong, I think it would have looked like a fairly self-serving tax trade. So what I mean by that is, first, understand the duration of your funding source. Pensionfunds have quite long-dated capital.
We spent the next four years rebuilding, unwinding some of the things that had happened before, trying to make a difference for customers, and ultimately sold it again in May of 2007 to acquire that we did, as you might imagine, a good bit more reversed due diligence on in that process. It was a wild ride. David Gardner: Wow.
I was having lunch with Jeremy in the summer of 2007, just after the Bear Stearns hedge fund started blowing up. I think the Americans going to be grateful that they didn’t do that much building in the last few years because otherwise, we would really have a replay of 2007 and ’08.
Are most people better off in an index fund than playing with an active manager, be it mutual fund or high fee hedge funds? SEIDES: John Yeah, I said back then, the bet started in 2007 and I say today, being in the market and investing in hedge funds is completely apples and oranges. This is the summer of 2007.
So we, we do business with most of the sovereign wealth funds, most of the big US national insurers, global insurers, the largest pensionfunds. So we we’re partners with the state of Texas, the actual state of Texas, not one of the pensionfunds, but the state itself. So it’s very long dated capital.
And there was one conversation very early in my career, this was actually 2007, where I was interviewing with an asset manager and I pre-meeting, asked them what they thought of the market. Alternatives and alternative strategies tend to be less tax efficient, more opaque. See ya, you’re getting a margin call.
RITHOLTZ: So that’s really interesting because what I wrote down was tax efficiency is one of the drivers. DAMODARAN: If I can throw this out to my class, and the first thing they come up with is it more tax-efficient to do buybacks than dividends? DAMODARAN: Capital gains then were taxed with 28 percent. DAMODARAN: Right.
In 2007, firms extracted — the private equity firms extracted $20 billion from companies in the form of dividend recapitalizations. Pensionfunds, perhaps, maybe aren’t growing as much as they need them to. Let’s talk about tax loopholes. Cut my taxes in half, where do I sign up for that?
Yields on 10-year Treasuries most recently traded at 5% last October, hitting their highest level since 2007 as fears of a prolonged period of high interest rates gripped markets. Take the time to read my recent comment going over Francois Trahan and Martin Roberge's presentations at Quebec ANEB last week.
