This week’s Summer Series is another twofer, Dawn Fitzpatrick from Soros and Steve Rattner from Willett Advisors, Michael Bloomberg’s family office. We packaged these two leading single-family offices together to hear their different approaches to a similar investment challenge, with Soros leaning heavily on internal teams and Willett primarily on external.
Please enjoy my conversations with Dawn Fitzpatrick and Steve Rattner, both from 2019.
Original Air Dates:
