Jack Gray, former strategist with GMO, will present at an upcoming Australia for UNHCR Twilight Seminar about managing information overload in an age where words, figures and other data are produced exponentially.
Gray will deliver a presentation titled, ‘Info info everywhere nor any time to think’. By answering the question: ‘can cows walk downstairs?’, he will discuss ways of distinguishing vacuous drivel from meaningful, context-dependent information, before progressing onwards to zero-in on the revelatory quality of wisdom. The seminar will begin at 6pm on March 4 at the Lightwell Auditorium in the Commonwealth Bank of Australia chambers. Neil Cochrane, deputy chief executive officer of Colonial First State Global Asset Management, will introduce the proceedings. Australia for UNHCR is a fundraising instrument for the Office of the United Nations High Commisioner for Refugees (UNHCR), an agency mandated to lead international action to protect refugees and resolve crises and problems faced by refugees worldwide.

The chief investment officer of the $150 billion industry super fund says that Hostplus’ portfolio will weather the ongoing downturn in software companies and that moves by a number of large private credit managers to gate their funds are a result of the asset class being offered to retail investors who should not have assumed the funds would be liquid enough to get money out when everybody else is trying to do the same.
