Nicolai Tangen sits down with Sir Paul Marshall, co-founder of Marshall Wace, to unpack the firm's journey from a $50 million startup in 1997 to a firm managing $90 billion today. They dig into TOPS, the pioneering AlphaCapture system that reshaped how buy-side and sell-side interact, the \"man plus machine beats a machine\" philosophy that shapes how Marshall Wace blends human judgment with AI, and why disagreeableness and agency now matter more than a fancy degree. Paul also opens up on his Christian faith, his education charity ARK, and his ventures into media through UnHerd, GB News, and The Spectator. Tune in for an insightful conversation! In Good Company is hosted by Nicolai Tangen, CEO of Norges Bank Investment Management. New episodes every Wednesday, and don't miss our weekly wrap-up on Friday’s.
