Barclays Global Investors – “Time will tell”

Pros

Unique place -- academic, innovative, smart, nice. San Francisco an amazing place to work and live. Good investment in people, culture. Great products.

Cons

Was just sold, so everything that made BGI unique will inevitably change. Time will tell how much, but new owner is another big success story.

Advice to Senior Management

Become more commercially savvy, so innovation is not just for the sake of innovation. Keep strong SF presence post acquisition.
