Capital Allocators Monthly Newsletter - December 2022

1. What Ted’s Thinking, The Power of an Interview. Ted’s latest blog scrutinizes the SBF/FTX scandal by considering the impact of interview style and editing on influencing opinions.

2. Fundraising,  John Austin Saviano and Shannon O’Leary.  Two pros from the allocator community share their take on fundraising in the current environment. Read ‘How to Not Get a Second Meeting: A Guide’ HERE.

3. The Prince, Sue-Lin Wong.  Sue Lin-Wong at The Economist put together a remarkable podcast series with an inside look at Xi Jinping. Episode 5 is especially eye-opening, discussing China’s censorship of social media.

4. A Year for the Ages, Sahil Bloom.  Follow-up on his thankful reflections a month ago, Sahil shared the lessons he learned in 2022, which itself could be a compilation of our customary last closing question on the podcast.

5. The Banker’s Wife, Cristina Alger.  In a highly entertaining diversion, I devoured Alger’s best-seller – an intricate weave of storytelling tied to Swiss Banking. It led me to read two of her other books during Thanksgiving break as well. Add it to your fun reading list this year!
