Itâs a strange portfolio for these strange financial times: space travel, psychedelics, movies, COVID-19, crypto, life extension, weed and SPACs. Those are just some of Christian Angermayerâs investments.
On Wall Street the name rings few bells. Yet for better or worse, the 42-year-old German billionaire looks like a symbol of the age, or at least the past 12 crazy months. Heâs made a fortune on the risky and faddish during the great bull market in everything.
His family office, Apeiron Investment Group, has been the lead investor in seven companies that have gone public in the past 12 months, raising more than $US1 billion ($1.3 billion) combined. Ten more companies in his portfolio are queued up to IPO this year, according to bankers familiar with the plans.
Rating Global Leaders in a Time of Crisis
While it s too early to say whether the ratings of U.S. leadership in 2020 will go down as the worst in recent history and whether China will suffer the same fate, based on the latest Gallup data coming in from around the world, 2021 will be a rebuilding and rebranding year for both countries. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, however, looks to leave office with Germany firmly on top of global leadership rankings and possibly more popular than ever. And Russia s still about as unpopular.
Read Gallup s analysis of the leadership ratings of the U.S., China, Germany and Russia from the 29 countries and areas in which it has collected data so far in its 2020 surveys. As a bonus, listen to an interview about the global world order with Benedikt Franke, CEO of the Munich Security Project.
