With David Shapiro travelling back to local shores, hedge fund guru Jean-Pierre Verster took the reins as Monday's BizNews Power Hour co-host. Discussion centred around US Federal Reserve's speech at the Jackson Hole Summit on Friday, as well as focusing on hospitality and property sectors as investment propositions.
