174
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,000
Uh, I was working
late last night
175
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,320
on this indicator model.
176
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,760
Well, it's turned into more
of a risk assessment now.
177
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,640
Sweetpea, Robert's my focus
this morning, okay?
178
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,000
SWEETPEA: Okay, yeah.
No, I get that, um...
179
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
And I’m sorry, I don’t--
I don’t wanna be too forthright
180
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,160
but I actually think this is
really important right now.
181
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,800
So I'm gonna, I'm gonna wait
in a meeting room over there
182
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:26,120
until you come and talk to me.

who've come as Jimmy Savile...
- Okay.

complete with very inventive
dirty protest make-up.
188
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,640
But the winner this year,
Leanne and Julie...
189
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,000
I'm gonna call you back.
I'll just see you at 4:00.
190
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
- Okay.
- ERIC: Uh, quick one.
191
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:49,240
It might be a good idea
for you to take a personal day.
192
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,600
What do you mean?
Like a day off?
193
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:55,320
Well... you want your privacy.
194
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,160
Yeah, when a fucking pap
is camping out on my cistern,
195
00:08:58,160 --> 00:08:59,440
not when I'm doing my job.
196
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,400
Eric, the last thing I want
is for any of this shit
197
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,640
to affect my life in here.
198
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,360
Can you not throw your toys
out of the pram?
199
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,040
Don't patronize me, okay?
I'm not one of your daughters.
200
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,400
I'm just trying to offer you
a little protection
201
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,800
from the glare of the spotlight
in a tough time.
202
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,920
That's all.
203
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:19,560
I appreciate that.
204
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,920
But, you know, I've just gotten
off a call with LeviathanAlpha,
205
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:24,960
who, let's be honest,
206
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,080
left us a pretty shitty
quarterly review.
207
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,360
ERIC: What a surprise.
208
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,120
Harper's power
to give us a bad review
209
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,200
must really light up
210
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:32,960
the pleasure centers
in her brain.
211
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,760
I've just set up a 4 p.m.
212
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,640
between Harper and Daisy,
the CIT's new PM.
213
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,960
She's just moved over from Crux.
214
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,680
I have been speaking
to her for weeks.
215
00:09:41,680 --> 00:09:43,880
She thinks that Petra and Harper
are cutting-edge.
216
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,480
You know, I can make
this connection.
217
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,520
ERIC: You know, we give
the Children's Investment Trust
218
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,480
five percent of our PNL
on Charity Day as gesture,
219
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,720
which they then
end up reinvesting through us
220
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,040
anyway.
221
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:56,920
It's a waste of my time.
222
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,160
Well, okay, it's not
a waste of mine.
223
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,760
We have no idea where Daisy's
gonna end up in a few years,
224
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,640
and I'm looking for longevity
in this business,
225
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,480
so I'm going
to introduce Harper and Petra
226
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,720
to the Children's Investment
Trust at 4 p.m. today.

just so we're clear,
229
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,240
I certainly don't see you
as my daughter.
230
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:16,160
Okay?

(CLEARS THROAT)
232
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,800
Apologies, I know
this select committee
233
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,680
is like a--
it's a big deal, so...
234
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:33,160
I've just-- I've been--
I'm a little freaked out
235
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,960
and no one here
is listening to me.
236
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,640
- (SCOFFS)
- So, I don't know.
237
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,040
I could, I could be adding two
and two and be getting five,
238
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,640
but I also could be adding two
and two and be getting four.
239
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,480
And four would be
like... really bad.
240
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:55,960
So, like, five minutes?
Ten minutes?
241
00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,640
- Okay. Let's start with five.
- SWEETPEA: Okay. Okay, cool.
242
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,920
So, obviously, there's a trend
of IPOs being pulled,
243
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,480
and ESG is experiencing
a downturn.
244
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,440
Thank you for highlighting
that for me.
245
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,480
So, um, I was speaking
to my friend, Amir,
246
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,920
in Fixed Income, and he said
that Pierpoint issued,
247
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,280
like, a fuck ton
of senior secured debt
248
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:17,480
around five years ago,
249
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:19,760
and it's about
to reach maturity,
250
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,200
and there's literally
no bid for it anywhere.
251
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,600
So this,
this capital-raising strategy
252
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,480
coincidentally but also perhaps
dangerously lines up
253
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,520
with the timing
of our own ESG pivot.
254
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:34,880
So what are you saying?
255
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:36,320
Look, I could,
I could probably get
256
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,280
in a lot of trouble for this.
257
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,600
You know, with, like,
the Chinese walls
258
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:40,600
and everything.
259
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:45,080
But, um, my friend,
Magdelena in Banking,
260
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,440
said that every IPO roadshow
that they've done
261
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,920
over the past three months
has gone badly.
262
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,440
No company coming to market
263
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,280
will want Pierpoint
to be its bookrunner.
264
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,040
And pretty much all of the IPOs
265
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,240
that Pierpoint
have underwritten are in limbo
266
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,640
between postponement
and pulling completely.
267
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:03,040
And the equity within these
prospective companies
268
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,640
is close to zero by now.
269
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:05,640
No one wants them.
270
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:07,560

So, um... this is the kicker.
274
00:12:12,680 --> 00:12:15,240
My friend, Keval,
in Asset Management
275
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:17,960
said that Pierpoint took
equity stakes
276
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:19,720
to facilitate these deals.
277
00:12:21,560 --> 00:12:23,880
Is it possible
that these prop bets
278
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,600

which provided
an essential service,
331
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,920
fanned its untenable
growth trajectory
332
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,680

where it had to be placed

government control
334
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,840
and bailed out by the taxpayer
335

of two billion pounds.
