On today's weekly wrap up: Corporate Abolitionists, The Gulf of Stupidity, The S in ISS stands for Shitty, and Denny's Truth Bomb Our show today is being sponsored by Free Float Analytics, the only platform measuring board power, connections, and performance for FREE.Story of the Week (DR):Goldman Sachs abandons DEI rule, saying it has ‘served its purpose' MMRichard Gnodde, CEO of Goldman Sachs International and a member of the bank's Management Committee, told the BBC that the bank had scrapped its board diversity requirement because of legal developments — and the fact that it had achieved its function.“That policy served as a catalyst to try and drive a change in behavior. What's important here is that you have a diversity of views on that board, and if you look at these companies — they've all embraced diversity. I think it served its purpose.” Billionaire Airbnb Co-Founder Is Said to Take Role in Musk's Government InitiativeJoe Gebbia, the Airbnb co-founder, is a board member at Tesla.Mr. Gebbia arrived at O.P.M.'s downtown Washington D.C. headquarters in a black S.U.V. with a three-man security detail‘Sustainable' Investors Flee References to Climate ChangeThe success of Republican attacks on ESG and Donald Trump's re-election has everyone running for cover.For more than a decade, investment chief of Green Alpha Investments Garvin Jabusch would show a chart of the planet's rising temperatures when pitching investment ideas to clients, saying they could help save the planet and still make money: “I've given up on anyone ever caring about that”Parnassus Investments, the biggest US sustainable-investing firm, has removed references on its website that its funds are “fossil-fuel free.”Engine No. 1, the small activist firm that led the shakeup of ExxonMobil Corp.'s board in 2021, has removed wording on its web page that corporate performance is “greatly enhanced” by investing in workers, communities and the environment. The fund now says it invests in companies that are “powering innovation and driving the reindustrialization of the United States.”Mr. BlowhardJamie Dimon is fed up with remote workLast year's proxy statement:“We continued to deliver strong multi-year financial performance, invest in our future, strengthen our risk and control environment, and reinforce our culture and values, including our long-standing commitment to serve our customers, employees and communities, and conduct business in a responsible way to drive inclusive growth.”Managed revenue of $162.4 billion — a record for the sixth consecutive yearExperienced growth across all of our market-leading lines of businessRecord net income of $49.6 billionExceptional Performance: the Firm's sustained strong relative outperformance compared to its peersJPMorgan CEO Dimon slams RTO pushback: ‘I don't care how many people sign that f*cking petition'Jamie Dimon Reportedly Says He'll Cut Some ‘Stupid' DEI Costs At JPMorgan ChaseJPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon wants to cancel some DEI spending after the bank spent billions on racial equity: ‘I was never a firm believer in bias training' In his remarks, Dimon reiterated the bank's commitment to improving society and said the company's approach to diverse employees and communities would stay the course. Yet, he reportedly added: “I saw how we were spending money on some of this stupid sh-t, and it really pissed me off,” Dimon said. “I'm just gonna cancel them. I don't like wasted money in bureaucracy.”There are two distinct elements to the determination of Jamie's pay plan: 50% is “the what” and 50% is “the how.” One of the three elements of “the how” is “Teamwork & Leadership,” which specifically includes “Creating an open, respectful, inclusive culture; Employer of choice for top talent from all backgrounds; Delivery on internal DEI initiatives.”One of the company's stated achievements in “Client/Customer/Stakeholder” was:Advancing racial equity: By the end of 2023, we reported nearly $31 billion of progress toward our five-year $30 billion Racial Equity Commitment to help close the racial wealth gap and advance economic inclusion among historically underserved communities in the U.S., including Black, Hispanic and Latino customers and communities.

Let's just talk about how investors are now paying ISS hundreds of thousands of dollars instead of Free Float in order to get LESS data - here are the “factors” you no longer consider for recommendations:Gender diversity:Women outpace men globally in sector knowledge for boards they're on - women are more likely to have gone to an elite school or have an advanced degree AND have direct knowledge of the industry of the company they're on the board ofWomen have stronger networks - because so few break the glass ceiling of boards, they end up getting recycled, which means they know more board members or have friends in commonWomen and men have exactly the same performance metrics as directors - by performance, I mean during their tenures, they oversee the exact same TSR and earnings performance percentiles versus industry peersMen have the advantage in leadership and economic interest - as in, women are rarely made CEOs unless there's a crisis and mommy has to clean up after the boys, and the boys almost always keep shares for themselves and don't give any to the girlsRacial/ethnic diversity:Black female directors at S&P 500 companies are the most knowledgeable of their industriesBlack female directors at S&P 500 companies also have the strongest networks - they have been recycled more, and thus have more friends in high placesAsian male directors at S&P 500 companies have the highest performance rates on TSR and earningsOverall, black male and female directors are the most “meriting” board positions at the S&P 500 companies Shareholders who don't use their rights DRSEC Looks to Muzzle Shareholder Culture WarriorsSchedule 13G is filed by owners of stock who have more than 5% of shares - so basically, Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, Fidelity - major investorsBUT, if the owner takes an ACTIVIST position (like Elliott amassing in BP right now), and that position is greater than 5%, they file a 13D, not G - D means they intend to influence or change management in a proxy fight (or through engagement)13D has more reporting requirements because it's an activist stakeWell, because investors have basically ignored their basic rights for so long and deferred to management, this happens: SEC Provides New Guidance on Schedule 13G EligibilityThe new guidance says:Schedule 13G would be unavailable if a shareholder engages with the issuer's management to specifically call for the sale of the issuer or a significant amount of the issuer's assets, the restructuring of the issuer, or the election of director nominees other than the issuer's nominees.For example, Schedule 13G may be unavailable to a shareholder who:recommends that the issuer remove its staggered board, switch to a majority voting standard in uncontested director elections, eliminate its poison pill plan, change its executive compensation practices, or undertake specific actions on a social, environmental, or political policy and, as a means of pressuring the issuer to adopt the recommendation, explicitly or implicitly conditions its support of one or more of the issuer's director nominees at the next director election on the issuer's adoption of its recommendation; ordiscusses with management its voting policy on a particular topic and how the issuer fails to meet the shareholder's expectations on such topic, and, to apply pressure on management, states or implies during any such discussions that it will not support one or more of the issuer's director nominees at the next director election unless management makes changes to align with the shareholder's expectations.ENGAGEMENT DEATH BY BEAURACRACY THE MAJORS! This works out one of three ways: the majors can no longer vote against any director for fear it appears to be “coercive”, and subjects them to 13D scrutiny, OR…They axe entire engagement teams, stop engaging at all, abstain and only offer pass through votingThey buy Free Float data - imagine a world where you stop engagement or conversation about “key issues”, and vote instead against candidates that just failed to perform without telling them why. No engagement, just voting on the data!But in the end, because you never actually used actual data on your director vote, the SEC is making it harder for you now.

Sam is also a leader led by his values. In 2018 he was one of only 21 Tory rebels who voted against a no-deal Brexit. It was a stand that ultimately cost him his political career.

Jose Manuel Barroso, chairman of Goldman Sachs International, provides an update on Europe’s latest fiscal stimulus package.
Wenn uns eins inden letzten 24 Stunden klar wurde, dann das: Fintech ist nicht tot. Ganz im Gegenteil, eine Welle der Funding Nachrichten erreichte uns in den letzten Tagen. Enorme Summen wurden in mehrere Fintechs als “Wachstumsbeschleuniger” investiert u.a. in das Fintech des Gründers Marc-Alexander Christ, SumUp. Mit genau diesem haben sich André und Kilian virtuell getroffen um mit ihm über die vorerst roten Zahlen, die in der Presse waren, nun die Hammer Investition und generell über die Entwicklung des mPOS-Marktes zu sprechen. Wer SumUp noch nicht kennt, hier eine kurze Zusammenfassung: SumUp ist ein Finanztechnologieunternehmen, das es Unternehmen jeder Größe ermöglicht, Zahlungen schnell und einfach zu erhalten, sowohl im Geschäft als auch online. Benannt als Europas am schnellsten wachsendes Unternehmen in der Inc. 5000' hat SumUp täglich über 4.000 Unternehmen, die sich der Plattform weltweit anschließen, und - mit seinen Kartenterminals, auf die Unternehmen von DHL bis hin zu Taxifahrern vertrauen. 2019 erwartet SumUp einen Umsatz von 200 Millionen Euro zu erzielen. Im Oktober 2018 veröffentlichte SumUp seinen 3G-Leser, ein Kartenterminal, mit dem Händler Zahlungen ohne mobile App oder ständige Wi-Fi-Verbindung abwickeln können. SumUps 100% digitale Anmeldung, schnelle Lieferung und schnelle und einfache Einrichtung bedeutet, dass Händler innerhalb weniger Minuten nach Erhalt ihres Kartenterminals mit digitalen Transaktionen ausgestattet werden können Aber zurück zum eigentlichen Thema: Bain Capital Credit, Goldman Sachs Private Capital, HPS Investment Partners und TPG Sixth Street Partners haben satte 330 Mio. € in SumUp investiert, welches das Unternehmen nutzen will um noch stärker und schneller zu wachsen und noch mehr neue Händler auf seinen 31 Märkten rund um den Globus zu gewinnen. Die neuen Mittel werden verwendet, um die Produktpalette von SumUp weiter auszubauen, sowohl organisch als auch durch weitere Akquisitionen (M&A). Das Unternehmen hat sein Produktportfolio kürzlich durch die Übernahme von Debitor für Buchhaltung und Fakturierung und Shoplo für E-Commerce und Marktplätze erweitert. Goldman Sachs International agierte als Lead-Strukturierungsagent, Barclays Plc als Strukturierungsagent und Weil, Gotshal & Manges fungierten als Rechtsberater von SumUp bei der Finanzierung. "Wir glauben an bezahlbare, einfache und zuverlässige Technologien, die es kleinen Unternehmen auf der ganzen Welt ermöglichen, erfolgreich das zu tun, was sie lieben", sagt Marc-Alexander Christ, Mitbegründer von SumUp, "Als eines der am schnellsten wachsenden Technologieunternehmen der Welt wird diese Finanzspritze das Wachstum unserer Kundenbasis deutlich beschleunigen, die Technologieführerschaft von SumUp stärken und die Entwicklung neuer Dienstleistungen vorantreiben.“ Um euch nochmal einen Überblick über den mPOS Markt zu geben, haben wir euch auch gleich eine tolle Grafik gebastelt die wir mit anhängen.

Elections for the European Parliament taking place May 23-26 are setting up to be exceptionally important given the rise of populist and nationalist forces that threaten Europe’s long-standing centrist status quo. Some even see this election as a crucial moment in deciding the future of the European Union. Allison Nathan from Goldman Sachs Research talks to experts about the potential implications of this important election in this episode of Top of Mind. José Manuel Barroso, former President of the European Commission and Chairman of Goldman Sachs International, gives firsthand insight on the large and growing relevance of the European Parliament. Mark Leonard, Director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, provides his view on how a possible realignment in power at both the European and national levels could disrupt everything from EU leadership appointments, to trade deals, to the EU’s budget— not to mention implications for fiscal policy in member countries, among other policy areas.
When a bank fails it is split up into a 'good bank' and a 'bad bank'. The assets and liabilities that pass to each can vary but after it was decided that a large debt owed by the former Portuguese bank 'Banco Espírito Santo' would not pass to the good bank this was challenged by Goldman Sachs who argued that the agreement's jurisdiction clause meant that the UK courts should decide. In this episode we find out the answer and consider the legal, political and business consequences of banking collapses. Music from bensound.com
