Questor: this investment manager’s ‘social network’ gives it a keen competitive edge
For most of us, having an extensive social network means getting plenty of “likes” on Facebook. But if you are a professional investor it can also give you an edge over your rivals. The people who run Pantheon International, a “fund of funds” investment trust that focuses on private as opposed to listed companies, have built up a strong network of relationships among the world’s private equity investors over their firm’s 36 years in the business. Such a network is crucial in private equity, which keeps a low profile. Managers of the private equity funds in which Pantheon invests do not market themselves in the way that conventional fund managers do, so the likes of Pantheon need to build relationships...

Simon Carter, head of media relations for the Scout Association, is waiting at the entrance of the Kings Hall Community Centre, resplendent in his beige scout uniform, complete with neckerchief and woggle. Looking down at the itinerary for the evening, it’s a relief to see that “knots” is firmly scheduled for 7.45pm. We are visiting a group in Willesden. The children gathered in this centre are between the ages of 8-10 years old, making them “cubs”. A volunteer shouts “pack, pack, pack” signalling the meeting has begun, and everyone scurries into their groups of six, forming four – sort of – orderly lines. As well as tying knots, the cubs learn how to prepare food hygienically and dial 999 for an ambulance. One of the children, Malaki, likes the Scouts because you get to do “loads of fun activities” and get badges. He is a “seconder”, meaning he helps to look after his group or “six”, he … [Read more...] about ConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlightConsumerBusinessSpotlight Building a national skills legacy “It’s the original social network”: Bear Grylls explains why the Scouts now have a waiting list of 55,000
