The investor who tried to pull the plug

	Edouard Carmignac: prefers his music unplugged

Amid the tough questioning and long days, the tone was reported to be constructive, informal and productive. There were also moments of light relief. One banker recalls a lunch meeting in the restaurant of a Paris hotel to pitch to Edouard Carmignac, founding member, chairman and chief executive of Carmignac Gestion, an asset management company with more than €50 billion under management. Early into the meeting, Carmignac noted that the music being played in the room was rather loud, called over one of the waiters and requested that the volume be lowered.
