From: "Pritzker, Tom" To: Jeffrey Epstein <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Date: Sun, 14 Mar 2010 16:55:41 +0000 Wow, that's the longest email from you ever. Appreciated. 1. Yes, but some of that 30 years had to do with piling up experiences, relationships and wisdom. We have that now so I will hold to my 10 years and may cede a need for flex for another 3-4 years. 2. OK, I admit it. It's one of those inner weirdnesses. I fo want your thoughts, help and advice. 3. takes people or time or know how. I only have a little of each and not enough of any. 4. Interesting. If you think in terms of an endowment like portfolio (diversified across classes, passive with third party managers etc.) then I think having material exposure to BRIG and emerging markets is directionally correct because the macro of the US sucks (5 year horizon). If you are sufficiently in the game to play anomolies and opportunistically then the US may hold opportunity. Never forget taxes. We have to outperform long term by 33% if we generate short term gains. april 7 From: Jeffrey Epstein [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, March 14, 2010 07:46 AM To: Pritzker, Tom Subject: I am intrigued by how you and I have arrived at in many aspects the same place with almost no overlap in developed skills.
