Wellington CEO Jean Hynes tells Carlyle Group Co-Founder & Co-Chairman David Rubenstein that the toughest challenge in money management isn’t attracting clients - it’s consistently outperforming benchmarks. She explains why delivering long-term results requires rare skill, discipline, and resilience, and what it takes for Wellington to maintain its edge in a highly competitive industry. Hynes appears in this week's episode of Bloomberg Wealth. This interview was recorded July 30 in New York.
