Reflections on Stress and Long Hours on Wall Street (NYT)
Most top Wall Street firms have sought to change their work policies for young investment bankers in recent years, in part to combat some of the problems and because they are increasingly in heated competition with Silicon Valley for top talent and are seeking to make themselves more attractive. Goldman, for example, has required that analysts take Saturdays off. Credit Suisse, too, has made employees take Saturdays off, with employees instructed to avoid even email. Bank of America has instituted a policy that requires analysts to “take four days off a month” on the weekends. And JPMorgan Chase has said that one weekend a month should be protected...As the economy has heated up and the deal-making market has improved, however, young bankers are once again working long hours. Perversely, young analysts now say that having Saturdays off has often added to their stress because late nights on Sundays have become the norm.

A 99-Year-Old Wall Street Veteran Reveals Secrets of Her Success (Bloomberg)
As she nears 100, Irene Bergman has some advice for enjoying a long career on Wall Street: Don’t do anything stupid. Consider investment returns, the financial adviser at Stralem & Co. said in an interview at her New York apartment, where, surrounded by paintings from Dutch masters, she telephones her clients. While many investors nowadays obsess over quick profits, it’s best to wait at least three years, or better yet, many more, before evaluating holdings. But don’t be afraid of revising your thesis, she said. If thorough research favors a portfolio shift, have courage and make changes...Bergman, who stopped visiting the office in December and turns 100 in August, attributed her longevity to good genes, not any special diet. She said she stayed physically fit by riding dressage horses until she was 80 and mentally sharp by forgoing retirement. Bergman speaks with Stralem colleagues daily and talks with some clients every week.

Fifa denies Valcke authorised $10m payment (FT)
Fifa has denied that its secretary-general, Jérôme Valcke, authorised a $10m payment at the heart of a US corruption investigation. It said the $10m, made in three payments from its bank accounts in Switzerland to a Bank of America account in New York between January and March 2008, were authorised by the then chairman of its finance committee, Julio Grondona. Grondona died in July 2014. Fifa said the payment was part of the legacy programme of the 2010 South Africa World Cup, to “support the African diasporas in Caribbean countries”. US investigators claim the payment was a bribe to Jack Warner, the then head of Concacaf, the football federation that controls North and Central American and Caribbean football, to vote in 2004 for South Africa to host the tournament.
