US Trip: learning from those who drive the largest market in the world.
“I was fortunate to spend time in New York over the last two weeks, by invitation of Moelis Australia, a preeminent alternative investment manager. As a young Australian advisor, this was a unique opportunity.
The US is arguably the world's most important financial and investment jurisdiction. Home to the highest number of billionaires, the largest asset management firms, the most significant family offices, and many of the most well-known businesses worldwide. The New York cityscape is enormous and impressive. The city design follows a grid structure, allowing one to stand in middle Manhattan and witness the hustle and bustle of corporate life for kilometers' in any direction.”
