Weekend Giant Reading: October 24

U.S. stocks fell as business activity unexpectedly shrank in April for the first time in more than three years, offsetting a rise in confidence among American consumers.

It’s the weekend, which means I’ve found some interesting stories for your reading enjoyment:

- Direct Investing: The Korea Investment Corporation has reported some rather low returns for its relatively new direct investing program; suggests the poor performance may be due to the fact that it didn’t know what it was doing...

- The Green Machine: Sweden’s AP2 will cut coal and oil companies to reduce the financial risks of climate change.

- The Fee Machine: “Fees are not trade secrets”, says someone who is clearly new to private equity...

- Breakups: Dear Goldman Sachs and Libya Investment Authority: Thanks for the memories.

- Venture Capital: This VC behavior could be problematic: “I’m just so interested in anything that gets me closer to an Iron Man suit.”

Turbulent sea and wave exploding on a rock
