Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentKenji, I'm outside AustralianSuper's office in Sydney, and it's raining sideways. The Japan Times reports Asia is about ten percent of its private equity portfolio.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThe fund wants more India and Japan. I tried to ask someone inside about it, and a security guard handed me a lost umbrella.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentIt's broken. Very symbolic.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentThe Japan Times calls it a shift in institutional money across Asia-Pacific.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentNobody here would confirm anything beyond that, and honestly, neither would my socks, which are fully soaked.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentA pigeon has been staring at me for ten minutes. I think it has a bigger private equity portfolio than I do.
Skip Waverly · Field CorrespondentI'm still hoping this gets me the desk.
