Know your Numbers: Lifting the Lid on Specialist Financial Investigations

Show Notes

Lily and Juliet are joined by Susan Kent, who advises hedge funds and companies on investment opportunities, legal claims and shareholder campaigns. This week they're talking about financial investigations including short selling.

What is short selling? Well, according to Investopedia....
Short selling (also known as “shorting,” “selling short” or “going short”) refers to the sale of a security or financial instrument that the seller has borrowed to make the short sale. The short seller believes that the borrowed security's price will decline, enabling it to be bought back at a lower price for a profit. The difference between the price at which the security was sold short and the price at which it was purchased represents the short seller’s profit (or loss, as the case may be).

Listen in to find out how firms like Schillings use experts like Susan to investigate possible cases of short selling.
