Hello Charlie,

Thank you for your impassioned comment. Finance is a global industry that transcends boundaries and proponents for improving it exist all along the political spectrum. I think the continuum most relevant here is not one's political affiliation, but the degree of empathy. Also, at least in my experience it is rare in the investment business to find someone who isn't well rounded, having an interest, yes, in finance, but also the humanities, history, geography, geopolitics, and so forth. One of the appeals to me of entering finance was that all of my interests could find value and expression in the industry. Put another way, those that understand the world best tend to make the best investment decisions. So the broader the interests, the greater the capacity to understand.

Yours, in service,

Jason
