@Mike Frino : 我最初的职业规划是会计,对财务报表分析充满热情。在小型对冲基金M&M Partners,我从控制员做起,逐渐参与交易和分析,最终专注于困境债务投资。这段经历培养了我的基本面分析能力,为我后来的职业发展奠定了基础。 在Babson公司,我继续从事困境债务和事件驱动型策略的投资工作,并逐渐承担更多责任,最终成为Barings的CEO。这个转变并非一蹴而就,而是经过了从投资组合管理到公司总裁的逐步过渡。在这个过程中,我学习到如何信任和授权团队成员,让他们在各自的领域做出决策,这对于领导一家全球性公司至关重要。 我将我的领导风格定义为“自信的谦逊”,既要对自己的决策充满信心,也要保持谦逊,并积极寻求他人的建议和合作。这有助于在大型组织中平衡快速决策和控制流程,并有效地进行管理。 在Barings,我见证了公司从几家独立实体合并成一个统一整体的过程。这个过程中,我们面临着整合文化和投资策略的挑战,但最终通过投资策略委员会驱动、团队合作的方式,成功地将不同文化背景的团队融合在一起,并建立了统一的企业文化。 在新冠疫情期间,我强调了沟通和透明度的重要性,让员工了解公司面临的挑战,并参与到解决方案中。这有助于增强团队凝聚力,并提升员工的归属感。 Barings的投资策略侧重于长期投资和稳定收益,我们为MassMutual等保险公司以及其他机构投资者提供服务,投资范围涵盖固定收益、房地产、基础设施等多种资产类别。我们也为客户提供定制化的资本解决方案,以满足其独特的融资需求。 展望未来,我相信私人资产市场将继续增长,公共市场和私人市场之间的界限将变得更加模糊。新的资产类别和定制化解决方案将不断涌现,而数据分析和人工智能技术将在投资决策中发挥越来越重要的作用。 @Barry Ritholtz : 作为主持人,我主要负责引导访谈,提出问题,并对Mike Frino的回答进行总结和补充。
