Fisher was initially defiant amid the backlash in an interview with Bloomberg, in which he said he had 'given a lot of talks, a lot of times, in a lot of places and said stuff like this and never gotten that type of response.'

, in which he said that attendees had mischaracterized his comments, and that he had "given a lot of talks, a lot of times, in a lot of places and said stuff like this and never gotten that type of response."

"Some of the words and phrases I used during a recent conference to make certain points were clearly wrong and I shouldn't have made them," he said. "I realize this kind of language has no place in our company or industry. I sincerely apologize.": "Money, sex, those are the two most private things for most people," so when trying to win new clients you need to be careful.

Phony as the day is long. Always has been

Please, please, please stop running those hideous fisher investment commercials.

Are they gonna put it in an annuity?

Ridiculous

We cannot know the unacceptable. We cannot learn what is unacceptable. Either call it out, or STFU. What is this BS? The story is vapid.

Please take his commercials off your station

dude also looks like a fish

But yet is still advertising on your network

'No diversity in gender, ethnicity, sexuality, religion, and socio-economic background. It is a hetero white man WASP land.' From Glassdoor. I've heard of gvt pension plans turning away all white male pitches. They are so out of time. No sane woman would want to work there.

The asset management industry is full of dinosaurs. That conference he was speaking at? Probably mostly men. Hence his comfort. Many pension plans are rejecting all male pitches. The firms who refuse to change will get caught between ETFs and those firms who get the new deal.

Buh bye

Shame - people are over sensitive/reacting in my opinion !! 🤷‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Good. Look for others to pull out as well. Who wants someone this stupid and out of touch in control of their assets?

Our new country is going to be great!

Just goes to show - keep making sexist comments, your face turns into a vagina

He should lose all of his aum. Anyone who still lets this guy do business with them is part of the problem. MeToo

I read the comments. Think over reacted but that is me. He is right those things private and things make people crazy money and their kids. Have to be very careful. Over reaction in my opinion. But everyone is different

WOW Guess that's gonna leave a SCAR!

And what so 'sexist'about it? Freaking lunatics.

When will they learn? 🙄

Lmaooooo This guy looks like a creep. You didn't have to fall out of the turnip truck yesterday to realize

But still has a job?
