Can you give us a rough arc of the last 40 years of executive compensation? What are some of the notable moments?
1:26
I think probably the signature issue and one maybe most people wouldn't give a lot of attention to or call out would be the creation of venture capital and private equity as a asset class that could be invested in.
1:42
And you probably go back a little more than 40 years, probably go back to a piece of regulation, again, not one that would normally be called out, which would be ERISA in the 1970s.
1:54
Esoteric to most of us, but really consequential because it started to protect employee retirement accounts and segregate them from company assets.
2:06
And it launched the asset management industry the way we see it today.
2:10
And it launched the idea of portfolio theory.
2:12
And the really important aspect of this, and I will connect this to executive compensation, is that it established the idea that you could have risk in a portfolio.
