OK, this is the third Friday Alphaville Wot U Kno quiz, so you know what the FAWUKing score is by now don’t u.
Eight questions, six tangentially on finance, one price guess and one “guess who tweeted this nonsense”.
The lucky winner gets an item from Jamie’s desk. Allegedly, he’s currently eyeing an empty jelly bean jar as this week’s prize. Just to make you want it even more.
Anyway, here you go:
-
Nolvina Capital, a London-based private equity firm, made headlines in the FT on Friday. Which notorious Israel-based spyware group is Nolvina an investor in?
-
Cathie Wood once again went on CNBC to underscore the deep value nature of her speculative tech portfolio on Thursday. Can you name one of the three top holdings in her ARK Innovation Fund ETF?
-
Which payments firm did Amazon reach a truce with this week over fees?
-
After two years of stellar performance, macro hedge fund Caxton Associates is raising its fees for investors. But with which famous private equity firm does it share an office building with on Mayfair’s Berkeley Square? For a bonus point, name the gentleman’s club and casino of yonder year that was once based next door? (Hint: it featured heavily in an Adam Curtis documentary.)
-
Mercedes unveiled its new F1 car on Friday — but can you name its stay-at-home-play sponsor, which has seen its shares fall 70 per cent over the past year?
-
E-commerce stocks have taken a beating since last Easter — to the nearest whole number, guess the percentage fall in fast fashion seller Boohoo’s shares over the last 12 months.
