They don't really see impossible. They see possible. This is absolutely possible. How can I get it done?

You know, without sort of pushing the boundaries out too far. But if you're always in pursuit of the possible, you are evolving.

You're getting better and you are creating new revenue streams, new opportunities, etc.

The majority of what we do, though, in the private world

is very much what we call self-liquidating private assets. So those are assets that are private

in nature, their three to five-year lock-up, but because they throw off quite a large amount of

income on a quarterly basis, they self-amitize. I find it quite difficult to say or know how a

portfolio manager will look into a crystal ball and be able to work out what company will

survive the next 10 years and come good. I think liquidity is paramount right now. You know,

some people give you advice, you need to be more well-rounded, you need to know a lot more. I actually believe the opposite. Of course it would be wonderful to be more well-rounded. I wish I was a lot more clever than I am. I wish I had many more skills than I have. But the reality is, is having a skill and homing that in and being the best at that. focusing on that, I think, is a formula to success.

If female leaders in finance are gradually becoming more usual, that cannot be said of most of the

alternatives industry. But as the private markets and alternative firms combine and cooperate

with the more traditional investment organizations

so their leaders, styles and backgrounds reflect a changing topography.

If you've worked alongside some of the most well-known hedge fund owners,

helped build their businesses and manage the associated turbulence and egos

and then become the CEO of a hedge fund that combines with

a major financial institution, it's highly probable you've navigated those businesses

as skill, dexterity and success. To understand why, how and to look into the future combinations

and direction of investment management, we welcome Soraya Chabreck, CEO of

Manulized CQS investment management. So I welcome on this wet November afternoon to our studios in

Malibuven. Thank you so much, Simon. Thanks for having me. I think we should stop the interview now
