Peter HewittGUEST
And it's not really happened in quite a few cases.
Peter HewittGUEST
Obviously, one of the biggest ones, HG Capital, which has been a fantastic trust over the long run, has had not a great year because it's focused primarily on software companies, all different types of business software in particular.
Peter HewittGUEST
and probably some good companies, but the whole AI story has kind of undermined the prospects for certain software companies.
Peter HewittGUEST
And although HG are sticking to their guns and saying, listen, we think there's a lot of attractive returns out there, it's gone to a wide discount and the asset values come down.
Peter HewittGUEST
And so that's not been great.
Peter HewittGUEST
And some of the bigger private equity companies, Pantheon, HarbourVest, you see Sava coming on the list there.
Giulia CanestrelliHOST
But what does it really mean to work in a city like London today? How demanding is the work environment? Does work-life balance actually exist? And what do you have to do to break into the investment banking sector? These are some of the questions you'll get answered to in The Takeoff, the podcast that shares with you stories and tips to work abroad through the real experiences of Bocconi alumni.
