Charles Hallab, President and CEO of the US-Saudi Business Council, joins The TWENTY30 co-hosts Lucien Zeigler and Dr. Hanaa Almoaibed to react to the impact and importance of U.S. President Trump's recent visit to Saudi Arabia. Hallab, who recently became President and CEO of the longstanding organization after a lifelong career (and portion of his childhood!) in Saudi Arabia and in U.S.-Saudi business relations, characterizes the recent visit as more than a reset in relations, emphasizing the excitement and energy among young Saudis and the opportunities for US companies. The co-hosts speak with Charles about the durability of the new paradigm, how the real work is ready to be done in strengthening the relationship, and the ongoing challenges with updating perceptions about the Kingdom and the need for better storytelling to convey the progress being made under Vision 2030. Charles, a lawyer by trade, also discusses the impact of the legal reforms that have made doing business in Saudi Arabia more accessible.    Before the interview with Charles Hallab, the co-hosts catch up on recent travel to Saudi Arabia, where both hosts were over the past two weeks. Then the hosts get to the latest news on Saudi Arabia, including Franklin Templeton is ramping up its presence in Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia launches TOURISE to reshape global tourism, Saudi Arabia accelerates auto industry localization, and the iconic American rock band Guns and Roses performs in Saudi Arabia.

Sigue la inercia compradora en los mercados. El Nasdaq es el índice que más sube entre los principales americanos. Ganancias de la mano de AMD, Nvidia y Tesla.

On 13 February 2025 BX Digital hosted a virtual seminar that addressed the question: “Token markets need liquidity: Where will they get it from?” The importance of the topic is obvious. A market in which assets can be bought and sold quickly without moving the price is bound to grow more quickly than one in which assets can be bought and sold slowly, if at all, and only by moving the price in an adverse direction. By this criterion, the cryptocurrency markets, let alone the tokenised asset markets, lack sufficient liquidity.The conventional solution is to attract more issuers and investors. Unfortunately, it is fallacious. The experience of traditional markets shows that liquidity is not generated sufficiently by buyers and sellers alone. Furthermore, liquidity must be manufactured by market-makers, lead brokers, securities dealers, inter-broker dealers, exchanges and trading venues, banks, investment banks, and principal and high frequency trading firms. Yet blockchain was invented precisely to get rid of intermediaries such as these. So the purpose of the discussion hosted by BX Digital was to test whether blockchain-based finance can indeed scale without intermediaries, whether tokenisation can make the generation of liquidity more efficient and what exchanges can do to encourage the growth of liquidity.The seminar, held in conjunction with Future of Finance, attracted 116 registrants. They heard Lidia Kurt, CEO of BX Digital, Michael J. Cyrus, Head of Short-Term Products, Equity Finance & FX at DekaBank, Mike Reed, Head of Partnership Development for Digital Assets at Franklin Templeton, Jasmine Burgess, Chief Risk Officer at Coinbase Asset Management, and Lloyd Wahed, Founder and CEO at Members Capital Management, discuss the question from a variety of angles. The registrants contributed to the discussion by completing an on-line poll. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, hosts Matt Patrick and Jennifer Doss discuss capital preservation investments with Steven Horner, fixed income portfolio manager at Franklin Templeton. Steven explains the differences between stable value and money market funds, emphasizing that stable value funds can offer higher returns due to longer-term investments and insurance protection.

They also touch on the current market volatility and its effects on these investments.

It's out 150th episode this week and we celebrate this milestone with a special two-part conversation with David Marcus, who was kindly introduced to us by Stacy Havener. David began his career in 1987 at Mutual Shares working under the legendary investors Max Heine and Michael Price. Mutual Shares was the boutique where Seth Klarman launched his career in the late 1970s. This episode is particularly meaningful as we have long wanted to pay tribute to Michael Price, following his passing a couple of years ago. David's career is one of the most impressive and dynamic that we have featured on the Value Perspective. After rising through the ranks at Mutual Shares, he stayed on when Michael Price sold the firm to Franklin Templeton in 1996. He remained at Franklin Templeton until 2000, when he launched his own hedge fund with backing from Swedish billionaire Jan Stenbeck. After Stenbeck's passing, David was asked by the family to help restructure their assets, leading him to establish one of Europe's first family offices in the early 2000s. He stayed with them until 2009 when he launched his long-only fund Evermore. Following Michael Price's passing, David was once again called upon, this time to structure and manage the Price family office, a role he held until his retirement at the end of 2024. In the first part of our conversation, we cover David's first years at Mutual Shares; what it was like to work with Michael Price; a fantastic anecdote on real-life deep value investing; a journey to discovering European deep value investing; and finally, the most important and long-lasting lesson he learnt from Michael Price.

In this episode, I was lucky enough to interview Vladimir Baranov, CEO and founder of Human Interfaces.Vladimir had early exposure to the turbulent Russian business climate, which made him cautious about entrepreneurship, but his experiences in the U.S. gradually changed his perspective. In college, he created a textbook-sharing platform, an early taste of entrepreneurship, though without charging users. Later, he ventured into finance, spending over a decade in capital markets before transitioning to startups. His first major success came when he co-founded a wealth management tech company, which scaled to 150 employees and was eventually acquired by Franklin Templeton. This experience fueled his passion for entrepreneurship and led him to explore the aerospace industry, despite having no formal background in it.After helping grow an aerospace startup and successfully launching multiple satellites, Vladimir felt the pull toward something broader—coaching. Recognizing that many engineers and scientists struggled to bring their innovations to market, he founded Human Interfaces to help bridge that gap. Now a business coach, Vladimir focuses on empowering tech founders, engineers, and scientists to build successful companies. His marketing approach is continually evolving, relying on a mix of in-person networking, coaching platforms, LinkedIn outreach, and SEO strategies. Check out this episode of The First Customer where Vladimir Baranov ensures his message resonates with the right audience by blending his experience in aerospace, finance, and business coaching to help tech founders succeed! Guest Info:Human Interfaceshttps://www.humaninterfaces.co/Vladimir Baranov's LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/vladimirbaranov/Connect with Jay on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jayaigner/The First Customer Youtube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@thefirstcustomerpodcastThe First Customer podcast websitehttps://www.firstcustomerpodcast.comFollow The First Customer on LinkedInhttp://www.linkedin.com/company/the-first-customer-podcast/

In this episode of EisnerAmper's Engaging Alternative Spotlight, Elana Margulies-Snyderman, Director, Publications, EisnerAmper, speaks with Tucker Scott, Founding Partner, Bergen Park Capital Management, which manages a small and mid-cap international equities fund. Tucker who spent over 20 years at Franklin Templeton,  shares his outlook for investing in small and mid-cap international equities, including the greatest opportunities, challenges and more.

Steven Dover, chief market strategist for Franklin Templeton — the head of the Franklin Templeton Investment Institute — called the DeepSeek news that roiled the market over the weekend and into Monday "a Sputnik moment," comparing it to when the Russians stepped up the space race and the rest of the world responded. "If it's true that something is coming out that is much cheaper and easier for companies to use, that is going to incease the efficiency and productivity of the economy and help the broad market significantly," Dover said. He noted that the weekend's news — and the start of the new Trump Administration — have not shaken his outlook for 2025, when he sees low double-digit gains, a broadening of the stocks that are working and heightened volatility, but no recession. Tom McClellan, editor of The McClellan Market Report, talks about how he believes that liquidity concerns are being overlooked by investors now, but they have him fully short the market. He notes that "event risk" tends to be heightened when liquidity is impaired, which could add to market volatility now; he pointed out that the DeepSeek news highlighted market overconfidence because investors were unprepared for weekend event risk. In the Market Call, Max Wasserman, co-founder and senior portfolio manager at Miramar Capital, talks about building a portfolio around dividend payers, with a mix of high- and low-growth companies. 

US President Donald Trump’s policies will lift the economy and support public and private markets, according to Franklin Templeton Investments’ chief executive officer. She is joined by Bloomberg's Francine Lacqua.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
