Chatting with a Financier

Edward Altman (left), Max L. Heine Professor of Finance at NYU Stern, interviewed John Paulson (Stern ’78), founder and president of leading hedge fund management company Paulson & Co., Inc., before more than 400 NYU Stern alumni in September about how Paulson’s company made billions of dollars by correctly predicting the subprime implosion. The event was part of Stern’s Chats with Financiers Series, which brings together academics and luminaries in the finance industry for discussions on personal experiences and current trends in finance.
