Q: I am considering an investment in private investment company OWL which has been hit hard by recent sentiment. It pays a dividend of over 7%. I would sell a current holding of BINC which pays a dividend of around 5.7%. I understand OWL has much greater risk and appreciate BINC being managed by Rick Reider. Would you endorse this change not to squeeze an extra 1% of dividend but rather because you agree that over a period of 3 to 5 years sentiment is likely to change regarding private investment firms such that a substantial capital upside is achievable along with the generous dividend. What opinion do you have specifically regarding OWL. At current price levels do you see substantial risk. Thank you.

Q: In researching the Swedish company EQT, a global powerhouse in finance (listed as EQT on the Stockholm exchange ) I found that EQT.st is the largest holding in PSP, the US-listed ETF that holds alternative asset managers and private equity companies. Many of the businesses held by PSP look attractive, including for example: KKR, OWL, APO, CG and BX. Do you think PSP the ETF is an attractive buy currently over EQT.st? I much prefer EQT.st but I ask you whether you would rather hold one or more of the individual constituents of PSP? If the latter, which companies, if any, do you think have good financial prospects and are at reasonably good prices to buy now?

Q: Have you warmed up to OWL since your March 2025 comment? OWL currently rates a strong buy in the financial sites I have access to. If your views are unchanged, do you have another private equity-cum-asset manager that you favor? OWL seems to have stronger, favorable buy ratings than BX, or CG. If not OWL, would you prefer Apollo and why.
Q: Your views please ? Would you be a buyer ? Entry price ?
