Could the next mayor of Beantown be a fundster?

John Hailer Natixis Global Asset Management President, Chief Executive Officer of the Americas and Asia

Attracta Mooney of the Financial Times interviews John Hailer, CEO of Natixis Global Asset Management [profile] in the Americas and Asia and global head of distribution, and tries to address "the repeated rumours that he will follow in his father's footsteps and embark on a career in politics," specifically the rumors that "Hailer has considered running for mayor of Boston."

"My father was a city councillor and state representative, which immediately means that I must have political aspirations, which I don't," Hailer tells the FT.

"Other than proclaiming his love for the current mayor, Marty Walsh, Mr Hailer does not say much more," the FT writes.

The profile covers a variety of other topics, including a subject that Hailer thinks calls for more regulation: closet indexing.
