“Gosh, that one's more tricky for me. I feel like I was pretty informed back then, but if I can flip it on its head a little bit, maybe I'll answer it as to what advice would I give to those 20 somethings out there now. And I would say understand the benefits of compounding. Make sure you invest early. Make sure you're diverse and make sure you invest in your 401k plan because as much as it feels as though you can't afford that extra $100 or $10 or $1,000, it's just so important to start investing early.”

“So depending on what that person's interest in interests are, I would say network, network, network, it's all about talking to people and understanding what they do and understanding what's out there and really building relationships. That's really what it's about. That's what it's about in business. That's what it's about in dealing with clients, building relationships. It's just what it is about life, but it's very hard to make that decision again. I fell into my career and I'm pretty fortunate that I've had a lot of opportunities come my way. But I'm not somebody who says you need a goal and you need to follow it because I think if you have blinders on for that one goal that you're going to miss all of these other opportunities that can lead you in a direction that might be much more fruitful for you.”

“As we've been going through this podcast, I've realized the benefit that my legal profession has had on my management abilities. I never quite tied those two things together so much. The broad knowledge that you get from being a business lawyer is quite extreme.”

“Get out of my own head and think about something different. We do enough as a lawyer think about how much you have to read. When I read, I want to read for fun or for gaining knowledge of something different.”

“I think it's called Beneath a Scarlet Sky. What I like to do back when I was a lawyer, everybody would say, oh, have you read the most recent fiction book on law, you know, Tom Clancy kind of stuff. And I just don't want to read things that I'm living. So I don't want to read books on investing. I don't want to read books on the law. I want to read books that transport me to another place and time where I can just learn about memoirs of a geisha was, you know, interesting, things like that.”

“And I said, you know, I'd be interested in learning how to read charts. That doesn't seem that hard. He said, oh, trust me, it's hard. He gave me the name of three books. He said, start reading and then get back to me. I might have to postpone that to retirement because it is quite technical. It's very math forward, but it's still interesting. For fun recently, I've read The Lincoln Highway. I really liked, I loved”

“My nightstand is a bit eclectic right now, so I have again another book on longevity called Outliving, which has again to do with health and longevity. I have the rain barrel effect, which is again about what you put into your body and how it affects, again, your health and longevity. The real shocker on there is, I believe it's called the modern textbook of astrology during COVID, I started thinking a lot about astrological charts and I found them fascinating. And they are tied a lot to math and science. And they're very, very technical. And I had my chart read.”

“I have one mentor. She was the lawyer that hired me for that job out of college. Her name is Molly Muggler, and she worked with me my entire career. She's now retired. So she hired me. I then became general counsel. I moved to Old Mutual. I brought her with me. And what was amazing about her is she believed in me before I did. She had such confidence and vision for me and my future. And she kept referring to herself as my sticky asset that she'd stay with me. But what was inspiring about her is she's so intelligent and she's such an accomplished lawyer. But at the same time, she was militant about balancing her personal life and her professional life.”

“Yeah, ours is 49 degrees, and it's cold. It takes about a minute and 30 seconds to numb up. So that's an interesting podcast for me. I do tune into this other podcast. It's called Your CEO Mentor. It's by the author of No Bull Leadership. And this individual's name is Martin Moore, and I totally skipped your conversation, your question about the AMP program, which is an advanced management program. It's an elite. Executive education program, but he was a buddy of mine at the AMP and he wrote a book on leadership. He was the CEO of a company and he wrote a book called Noadership. And I, of course, read it out of courtesy because I don't normally get a lot, frankly, out of leadership books. It's very intuitive to me. But I got quite a few nuggets of information from this book, and he's just very entertaining.”

“Entertaining. You always got a good Tidbit of knowledge, like being authentic leader, you know, lean into your insecurities. I never turned that off without picking up some little tidbit of information. As far as podcasts, I get most of my news by email feed. So I tend to do that more as a hobby. So I do. I'm very interested right now in longevity and health. So I listen to something called the Cabral concept by Dr. Stephen Cabral, which talks about all sorts of things. One of the things I was looking into. Was an infrared sauna and a cold plunge. So my husband and I just recently purchased both of those things.”

“So I like documentaries. So what I was looking or watching this weekend was Fantastic fungi, which I highly recommend. This is all about the medicinal and healing properties of mushrooms if one has ailing parents or is having health issues. I highly encourage you to tune in, but it is also a beautifully, beautifully filmed documentary. I also live on the Cape, so I had to, you know, the shark population is booming. So I had to watch after the bite, which is all about the shark population on Cape Cod. But other than that, as far as sort of more mainstream, I did like Ted Lasso very much. What's not so?”

“We're getting them interested in asset management. We're doing things like shark tank and job fairs and things like that that are kind of mock job fairs. And it's just been really rewarding for us because we have to start at such a young age. So these women and other diverse populations will continue to have an interest in asset management.”

“Again, it's lean into those softer skills. I think it's a trifecta of opportunity right now for women. So you have companies and boards that are trying to increase their diversity stats. So they're more open to women in senior leadership positions. The hybrid work environment makes it easier for women that are balancing multiple, multiple different chores and responsibilities. And then you have the benefit of women having these softer skills that work in this new tech-enabled environment. So I think it's a great opportunity for women going forward. I think the issue really is the pipeline. And one of the things that I'm passionate about and we're doing a lot with at PGM Quant is we're going out and doing community work. We're reaching out into the newer community and we're working with kids as young as elementary school kids. So we're”

“But one of the first things that I did when I took over as CEO was work with the employees to reset our values and then not only reset them, but then drive them home and live by them and make changes based on them. And I think that building that culture, it's very, very difficult to do if you're in a fully work-from-home environment.”

“Right, I believe it's important for the younger generation because you want that mentoring. You want to be able to again run into people in the halls, get to know them, get to understand what they do. And I do think that's important. I think flexibility is also important to many, many have either young kids at home or they have ailing parents or they have hobbies or they just have wellness goals. So getting that balance right Can be tricky, but this is again why I think the three days is a good balance. It's a nice way to solve for our employees' needs, but also get the work done and build a culture, building a culture. We haven't talked much about that.”

“Does we've actually had certain people that wanted full work from home, which we don't do. So it is something that I believe companies need to do. They need to pay attention to that. I think our offices are in Newark, New Jersey, so hybrid is pretty appealing. I do think It's a differentiator, or maybe it's not even a differentiator. It might just be table steaks.”

“We are. We're working in a hybrid three days in the office, two days work from home. And I believe that it's the best of both worlds because we have those three days to collaborate, to continue to get to know each other, to brainstorm. And then we have two days that we can do heads down work, meaning the work from home days. And I also feel that we get Lot of credit for doing that with our employees. It's what they're getting used to. And I was just listening to actually Bloomberg this morning where they were talking about how the trains are getting busier and workplaces are going are changing their hybrid schedules. So I'll be interested to see what happens in the next year or so. With respect to hybrid. But I think right now it's a pretty good balance.”

“And it was about a 40 minute drive, and I would do a lot of reflecting and thinking about strategy, people, whatever I was doing at work. And instead of thinking about it, I thought, I'm going to do some little video segments. Two minutes, didn't really think about what I was going to say, just got on the video and talked to the employees of our company. And I did that regularly so they would know what I'm up to, what I'm thinking about. They knew a little about me personally, but they also knew what I was thinking about, what the management team was thinking about and what we were up to. And that's an example of a softer skill that That ability to connect with people and to think about how you can connect with people in different ways to build their trust and get to know you better.”

“Feel as though softer skills, especially in this tech enabled environment. So in a hybrid environment, when you're streaming and dealing with people by Zoom and Teams and you're not seeing people in the hallway, these softer skills really, really differentiate you. And one of the things that I've been doing as CEO during what I did during COVID, and I've continued to do now, is you lack that ability to run into people in the kitchen and to connect with them and really build a relationship because I do believe that building relationships is important to building trust. Building trust is essential to building working relationships with your business partners. And so what I started doing was I started doing a video series. If you think carpal karaoke, I would drive my dog to the dog park in the mornings.”

“I think it's a big differentiator for PGM. One, I just, PGM has one of, as you mentioned, one of the broadest asset management offerings out there. And I feel like Quant is a very important component to the offering, especially how if you think about how technology is advancing and it's becoming more and more a part of our lives, AI is evolving. And we've been doing that for a long, long time. So I think it's just natural to have a quant manager as part of your stable of offerings. But yes, I do believe that it's a differentiator for PCM.”

“But it depends on what our clients are looking for. So I say that with respect to our equity book, but then we have also, we take much, you know, larger bets with our PGM Widwani platform as well as if you're thinking about maybe a small cap investment versus a large cap investment. So it really goes up and down the gamut, depending on what our clients are looking for, what their risk tolerances are. We try to solve for their risk needs. And again, quants can do that pretty effectively because of their process.”

“So risk management is very much embedded in our process. So it's not an afterthought. It is something that we pay attention to. And clearly you have to take risk if you're going to get gain. But what our models try to do is take that the risks that are going to benefit us and then manage the risks that are not. We tend to take a lot of singles and be consistent.”

“It's not, we don't do as much of that at PGM Kwant. So we do manage money for the Prudential General Account, but it tends to be in equities, and we do manage some money for them through our PGM would want to. But as you know, insurance companies have various constraints and they need to solve for these things, and they have much smaller Buckets of risk assets. So, should insurance companies invest in equities? We very much want to be a part of that and we do manage equities on behalf of our parent company. But lucky for us is we don't have to think about paying claims. We just have to think about managing the money in the best way that we can.”

“People get a bit scared in this type of environment and they want to diversify their portfolios. So we just, what we want to do is we want to partner with our clients. And they might have any number of needs. They might have risk parameters. They might have liquidity needs. They might want to track a benchmark. They might want to just absolute return. They might want real return. Whatever they need, we will solve for.”

“There still is, it may not be as in demand as it's been, but if you think about where we are, the macro environment is so uncertain. People still don't know whether we're going to have a recession. People don't know. People are assuming there's going to be a recession in Europe. People just don't know. So I think they're really trying to pardon the use of the word hedge, but hedge their bets and make sure that they have downside protection.”

“That's what's really unique about our offerings that we're able to sit there and talk to you and say, Barry, what's important to you? Do you care about water usage? Do you care about women on boards? Do you care about energy? Do you care about a carbon footprint? How much do you want it to impact your returns or maybe you don't want it to impact your returns at all? So how do we work with you to create a portfolio that does what you wish? So that's been really interesting and we've gotten a lot of traction there.”

“They're extremely customizable across all of our platforms. So even I'll give you an example, our quant equity platform. We have an ESG solutions offering. We had a very, very large ENF endowment and foundation come to us and say, we need to get we need to solve for our ESG needs and we want to do that. We want to track a certain index, but we want to take energy out of the portfolio. So what we've been able to do is we've been able to help Investors solve for their ESG needs wherever they are in their journey. And I get that it's different for different people.”

“All liquid, including publicly traded real assets and commodities. Clearly, liquidity is a little tougher with sort of the microcap and the small. So what we do, what our models do there is they assess the trading costs of getting in and out of companies because we want to make sure, of course, that you don't pay more in trading costs to get out than your alpha. So we have to pay attention to that. We also have people that use us for overlay strategies and they often have to get out on a dime. So we need to make sure that everything is very, very liquid.”

“Money into privates. Privates are big right now, and Pijim is leaning into our privates and our alts, meaning PGM at our head office. But at the same time, people need liquid investments. And so what we provide for them is liquid solutions to help them navigate through these turbulent times.”

“We're applying the same strategies, but having said that, and again, we offer so many different strategies, but what we do have, and people have been very, very interested in them, are sort of that the inflation hedging strategies that we offer, the custom mandates. We're all about solving our clients' needs, not only today, but tomorrow. So how do we work with those clients to figure out what they're trying to solve for? Some want downside protection. So we've been recently putting together portfolios that have downside protection. They might limit the upside a little bit. We can adjust that depending on our clients' preferences and needs and wants, the macro tail risk products, the inflation hedging products, all of these different things that are helping clients right now move away from the 60-40 portfolio is just not working for clients right now. And sure, they want to put”

“Clearly, the markets affect our strategies, but that's one of the reasons we feel strongly that quants excel in volatile times. Mostly because they have a long-term approach. They're data driven, they're disciplined, they're diversified. So we have 300 plus stocks in our portfolios. We look at hundreds of pieces of data on 10,000 companies every day. So we're very, very diversified. But the other thing about being a quant, which is nice, is it removes the emotional bias from picking socks so you don't get caught up in what's going on in the market. Freaking out in essence and making bad decisions. You have your models to ground you. Sure, there's fundamental insights on top and there are people here back to that fusion of art and science. But we have the models as our bedrock.”

“Offers global macro trend following. It also has inflation hedging products as well as macro tail risk products. So we kind of cover and we go up and down the market spectrum from micro cap all the way up to large cap and then we go across geographies. So we'll do US international EMX China, you name it. We offer most of it in quant form. The one thing we don't offer is privates.”

“Either side of it. The criticism sandwich. Short answer is all of the above. So Peach and Quant is divided into three platforms. We have our quant equity platform, which manages risk equity portfolios that were quant, so they're model and factor driven. They cover core value opportunistic equity and indexing. Then we have a multi-asset platform. The multi-asset platform manages things like offering that give you inflation, hedging against inflation. So we use publicly traded real assets and commodities. We do defensive equity strategies. We also do asset allocation and overlays. And then we have a third platform, which PGM quant acquired right before I joined, which was another interest of mine, was integrating a new firm into the fold. And this is PGM Wouldwani. It's our London-based liquid alternatives firm.”

“Yes, and many of our, as I said before, many of our investment prep professionals are introverts. They do not want to be in front of clients or prospects. Lawyers can be the same, and you often have to get lawyers to think like business people. You do the same thing with investment professionals. They don't have to think like business professionals as much as lawyers do, but they still need to adjust their thinking a little bit. And I often need to change my leadership style. And I learned early on I took a personality profiling test. I don't know if you've ever heard of it. It's called Insights Discovery. And they put you into a color bracket. And I'm red, which means I tend to like people to be bright, be brief, and be gone. That's how I like people to interact with me. But there are a lot of people that want a lot of data. They want a lot of information. You need to spend time with them. You need to ask them how their kids are. Some are extroverts. They don't care about the.”

“There are similarities in that they both tend to be meticulous. So they're both type A, they're both very, very smart, and they tend to get into the weeds and the details. So you have to constantly take them up. So at our firm, putting portfolio managers in front of prospects and clients, we constantly have to train them, give them presentation training. We need to often bring in CPMs to help translate their knowledge into layman's terms.”

“Yet both PGM and Old Mutual are similar with respect to their investment management businesses tend to be pretty separate and distinct from their insurance businesses. So they report in and they have quarterly business reviews and all of that stuff and they dovetail nicely, but they really are run separately.”

“Yeah, and I saw it in real life when being part of a multi-boutique and being on the boards of 19 investment managers, I saw the difference between the CEOs that had been investment professionals or CIOs and the ones that were heads of distribution or were in operations. It is interesting though, the majority are either in distribution or CIOs. They don't tend to be lawyers, but regardless, I do think that CIOs tend if I'm going to stereotype. They tend to do better managing money.”

So I spent, I don't know how many weekends doing 200 of these over the winter last year. So that is a little snapshot into my life. to take it back. So I very much like sort of the art and science of quant investing. So it was a natural fit for me to come to PGM, but also to come to PGM quant. And it's been it was remarkably easy to transition to the firm. And more interesting to me when I became COO, I expected, frankly, organ rejection because I didn't come from the investment management side of the business. And often you think that”

But I also liked at Peacham Quant, we like to call it the fusion of art and science. So you have the fundamental insights plus the systematic. And while I am a math science person, I am very, very artsy and creative. I love a good craft. My daughter got married two weeks ago.”

“Absolutely. And having worked in that environment for so long made moving over to PGM and PGM Quant Solutions a pretty easy transition for me. I was really excited about it. I had been watching PGM. I had been watching their reputation and their brand grow exponentially under David Hunt's leadership. And then I had also known a lot about PGM Kwan at the time was called QMA. And we had a firm at Old Mutual, two firms, Acadian and Analytic, who are both quant firms. And I sat on both of their boards for years and as head of affiliate management, you're responsible for their P&Ls. So you are in their shorts with respect to their strategy, their product development, any liftouts they would do, making sure they had appropriate distribution resources and funding, made sure their succession plans were set and were executed seamlessly. So I spent a lot of time with quantitative.”

I was after I was general counsel. I was chief operating officer and head of affiliate management. So I oversaw 19 different investment boutiques that frankly spanned the gamut of offerings. We had timber. We had real estate. We had global fixed income, quant equity, fundamental equity, managed futures. You name it, we had it.”
