Hey, can I grab you for a second – it will take less than five minutes,’ the Director of Investments said, approaching my desk. Experience has taught me that nothing good comes from this type of request. Generally you can walk into a room for five minutes and walk out having been assigned a task no one else wants to do. I was unfortunately deep in a game briefly popular in the finance team where you have to find footage on YouTube of a concert where you were in the crowd – the more obscure the better. Which put me kind of on the back foot.

So I entered a room with the investments team sat around looking expectantly at me and pleased with themselves.
