Interesting to see Wilbur Ross's expected appointment considering his connection with Jim Lockhart.

Salary + bonus + benefits run into the millions for many public company directors. I genuinely don't see how this can be justified. Surely there are plenty of talented people who could/would do the job for less. Is there anything that can be done about this? Why do institutional shareholders stand for it?!

Did this interview take place?

I've been trying to find more information on Nick Sleep since I heard Guy Spier refer to him. I haven't really come up with much, other than that he was previously at Marathon and Nomad (and now seems to run Sleep, Zakaria & Co in London). Robert Vinall in the most recent RV Capital report refers to Nick's letters (http://www.rvcapital.ch/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/Co-Investor_Letter_2015_EN.pdf). I'd be really interested in getting hold of them- does anyone know how? Thanks!

How does his legal background help in the investment process?

Thanks for posting!

Authers' is generally worth reading/watching. I googled him a while ago and came across this: http://incakolanews.blogspot.sg/2009/02/john-auther-of-ft-leads-amazing-double.html?m=1

Is anyone planning on going to this event and has anyone been in previous years? I'm considering it, but would be interested to hear other people's thoughts.
