Paul Singer: Activist Investing, Market ...

Norges Bank Investment Management
About this episode

This week, Nicolai Tangen sits down with Paul Singer, legendary investor and founder of Elliott Asset Management, one of the world's most influential activist investors. Singer shares insights from his remarkable career spanning several decades, discussing how activist investing works, why companies need external pressure for change, and his philosophy of never losing money. He opens up about major investment cases, while offering sharp observations on current markets, which he sees as "just about as risky as I've ever seen." The 80-year-old Singer also shares his views on crypto, AI valuations, and his advice to young people. The conversation offers a rare glimpse into the mind of one of investing's most successful and determined practitioners.


In Good Company is hosted by Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management. New full episodes every Wednesday, and don't miss our Highlight episodes every Friday.


The production team for this episode includes Isabelle Karlsson and PLAN-B's Niklas Figenschau Johansen, Sebastian Langvik-Hansen and Pål Huuse. Background research was conducted by Kristian Haga.
