Asset Managers w. Sahand Moerefy

Published on: 13th November, 2024

Imagine a world in which you don’t own index funds, but rather own companies directly. You have to know them intimately, and vote on issues affecting the operations of the company. Today, we live in a world in which most of us invest passively, but it hasn’t always been that way. Join us as we explore the world and history of asset managers.

Sahand Moarefy is a corporate attorney, and he is the author of a fantastic, recently-published book called The New Power Brokers: The Rise of Asset Manager Capitalism and the New Economic Order, available on Amazon.com.
