Still a lot better deal than the vast majority of Americans can count on. However, executives who can help a hedge fund or private equity firm bring in new money or assist a big bank in attracting and maintaining large institutional clients are still very much in demand, Rogan says. Boosted by record activity in Latin America, a "brilliant" year in Asia and "strong" activity in the U. This is astonishing news to Michael Driscoll, an Adelphi University finance professor who spent 28 years at Wall Street, including as a senior managing director at Bear Stearns. Driscoll's perspective may be particularly dire because he was an equities trader, and that business has been decimated. Those that still have jobs are being paid so much less, and I talk to people every single week that are just losing jobs," he says. Challenger says that while many employees rejoin the financial sector, others find their skills adaptable to other sectors. An accountant at a bank, for example, becomes an accountant for a healthcare company. A salesperson moves on to selling other products in other industries.

Wiggins, Director & Sr. Editor, Yale Program on Financial Stability Alec Buchholtz, Research Associate, Yale Program on Financial Stability Date of Interview November 20, 2018 Lessons Learned No. 2019-03 Summary: The Yale Program on Financial Stability (YPFS) reached out to Thomas Baxter to request an interview regarding his time as General Counsel for the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) and, more specifically, his involvement with the American International Group (AIG) intervention. Baxter started at the FRBNY counsel’s office in the summer of 1980 and he became General Counsel – and therefore, also Deputy General Counsel of the Federal Open Market Committee – in 1995, serving in those roles until 2016. During his tenure, he was regarded as the principal behind the Federal Reserve’s assistance towards AIG, among other Federal Reserve crisis programs. Since his time at the Federal Reserve, Baxter has joined Sullivan & Cromwell in New York, NY as of counsel for their Financial Services Group. [This transcript of a telephone interview has been edited for accuracy and clarity.] Transcript: Background YPFS: Could you give us some background about yourself and your career at the Federal Reserve? When did you start there? What kinds of things did you do until the Global Financial Crisis began? Baxter: I began my career working as a law clerk for an appellate division judge. I started at the Federal Reserve (the Fed) in the summer of 1980 as a staff attorney and I became General Counsel of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York (FRBNY) in 1995.So I had been serving as General Counsel for quite a while before the crisis.

  • July 13, 2015] – Inner-City Scholarship Fund and Jpmorgan Chase & Co
    For Immediate Release INNER-CITY SCHOLARSHIP FUND AND JPMORGAN CHASE & CO. ANNOUNCE $1 MILLION SCHOLARSHIP ENDOWMENT IN MEMORY OF JIMMY LEE Endowment created by donation from JPMorgan Chase’s Foundation New York [July 13, 2015] – Inner-City Scholarship Fund and JPMorgan Chase & Co. today announced a $1 million scholarship endowment in memory of Jimmy Lee, the former Vice Chairman of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and former head of its Investment Bank, who passed away at the age of 62 in June. Jimmy was a devoted supporter of Inner-City’s mission to provide a quality Catholic school education to the children of New York. The endowment, known as the “Jimmy Lee Fund,” will be used to help cover tuition for eligible low-income students attending inner-city Catholic high schools within the Archdiocese of New York. Established by a $1 million donation from JPMorgan Chase’s foundation, the scholarship will be offered through Inner-City, New York City’s leading non-profit organization providing tuition assistance for students going to these schools. The endowment builds on donations already provided by Jimmy’s friends, family and colleagues to the Inner-City Scholarship Fund following his death. “Jimmy’s four decades of dedicated service go well beyond the walls of JPMorgan Chase,” said Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO, JPMorgan Chase & Co. “This scholarship fund is a tribute to Jimmy’s character, huge heart and generosity to those who were underprivileged or just needed a helping hand. It will provide future generations with a good education and the chance for a more hopeful future.” Jimmy’s dedication and generosity to Inner-City for over two decades enabled dozens of underserved children to attend and graduate from the city’s high-performing Catholic schools.

  • History of Private Equity and Venture Capital 1 History of Private Equity and Venture Capital
    History of private equity and venture capital 1 History of private equity and venture capital The history of private equity and venture capital and the development of these asset classes has occurred through a series of boom and bust cycles since the middle of the 20th century. Within the broader private equity industry, two distinct sub-industries, leveraged buyouts and venture capital experienced growth along parallel, although interrelated tracks. Since the origins of the modern private equity industry in 1946, there have been four major epochs marked by three boom and bust cycles. The early history of private equity—from 1946 through 1981—was characterized by relatively small volumes of private equity investment, rudimentary firm organizations and limited awareness of and familiarity with the private equity industry. The first boom and bust cycle, from 1982 through 1993, was characterized by the dramatic surge in leveraged buyout activity financed by junk bonds and culminating in the massive buyout of RJR Nabisco before the near collapse of the leveraged buyout industry in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The second boom and bust cycle (from 1992 through 2002) emerged out of the ashes of the savings and loan crisis, the insider trading scandals, the real estate market collapse and the recession of the early 1990s. This period saw the emergence of more institutionalized private equity firms, ultimately culminating in the massive Dot-com bubble in 1999 and 2000. The third boom and bust cycle (from 2003 through 2007) came in the wake of the collapse of the Dot-com bubble—leveraged buyouts reach unparalleled size and the institutionalization of private equity firms is exemplified by the Blackstone Group's 2007 initial public offering.
