Conversation on the Hedge Fund Business with Dan Och Allison Koester Explains the Role of Managers in Tax Planning Social Innovation Competition Celebrates Social Entrepreneurs

The Stanton Distinguished Leaders Series will host Dan Och, founder and CEO of Och-Ziff Capital Management Group, on Monday, March 24 in the Rafik Hariri Building, Fisher Colloquium. He will discuss “The Hedge Fund Business: Where It’s Been and Where It’s Headed."

The majority of public companies in the United States pay 20 to 40 percent of pretax income to the government in the form of income taxes. Since every dollar paid to Uncle Sam is a dollar that cannot be reinvested within an organization, paying taxes could be considered an inefficient utilization of resources.

Entrepreneurship, as a whole, is booming at Georgetown University. Now, many entrepreneurially minded students are creating business ideas that also have a positive social impact. This impact can focus on the Georgetown community or can extend further to have a global effect.
