After almost a decade away from competitive over-the-board chess, I am excited to be coming out of ‘retirement’ to compete in the International Chess Federation’s World Corporate Chess Championship finals as an alumni and former captain of the Goldman Sachs team. As a co-founder of the New York Corporate Chess League with Alisa Melekhina and Yuanling Yuan, where our mission is to bring chess out of ‘back rooms’ and into ‘board rooms’ in an effort to promote connectivity among players and enthusiasts of the game, I am thrilled to see FOUR of the NYCCL’s corporate teams competing on the world stage in the finals taking place here in New York this weekend. Check out today’s feature in The Wall Street Journal to learn more about the global boom in corporate chess and upcoming tournament, including how to follow along (and watch us win!): Len Ioffe Sarah Ascherman Bogdan Vioreanu Arthur A. https://lnkd.in/e6QsSCt8

My new chess story with Joshua Robinson isn’t about the world’s top grandmasters duking it out. It’s about the world’s biggest companies like Google and Goldman Sachs battling in the FIDE World Corporate Chess Championship. The competition pits the cleverest pawn-pushers at some of the richest blue-chip companies on earth against one another. A total of 12 teams are throwing down this weekend, and they’re not vying not for prize money, but to be recognized by chess’s world governing body as the “smartest company in the world.” It turns out that at a time when chess is booming, the ancient game is especially popular in high-achieving offices from Wall Street to Silicon Valley—an internal group of chess players at Google is 2,500 people strong. But, of course, just like corporate softball where it isn’t unusual for teams to show up with someone who arouses suspicion by mashing the ball like Aaron Judge, corporate chess has ringers. Just ask the elite American player who’s showing up on behalf of a high-speed trading giant. https://lnkd.in/eaq7vWPH

What happens when Wall Street meets the UFC? The finance Octagon is born, where the highest stakes are measured in stocks. My colleague Jérémie Peloso, CFA and I put US vs. European heavyweight stocks against each other (see fight card) in a battle for the Ultimate Fighting Companies championship. Crowd favorites, US equities (ex-Tech and Comm Servs) appear to be overvalued and have benefitted from a virtuous cycle of capital flows chasing returns at the expense of European equities, which are relatively cheap and have little concentration risk - a good long term buy. So let's get ready to ruuuuuuummmmmmmmbbbbbllllle! - request a copy of the report here: https://lnkd.in/ekebXcpD BCA Research

*** For Professional Investors only *** ⚽ The BlueBox Asset Management Precision Medicine Fund managed by Mark Dainty has made it into the LeifBridge and Shard Capital Elite 11 line-up. It is a great honour to play the right wing position Ernst and to be once again on the pitch with our former colleague Zehrid at Martin Currie. A very solid line-up full of very competent managers! I am sure the results will be great. I particularly like the way Ernst describes our Precision Medicine strategy as the right winger: "Change and impact! The BlueBox Precision Medicine fund represents the right wing's role in delivering dynamic, high-impact outcomes. This fund's focus on innovative life sciences companies driving the era of personalised medicine mirrors the winger's need for creativity, and goal-scoring ability in a fast-paced environment, emphasising the pursuit of breakthroughs and substantial contributions to the team's success." 📈 I am confident your right winger can make a significant positive impact as part of your starting 11 in the future. #football #euros #investing #funds #winger #bbam #bbpm
