Paul Marshall is a founder of hedge fund Marshall Wace.[1]
Marshall co-edited The Orange Book with David Laws. He is an adviser to Nick Clegg.[2]
The Guardian reported in November 2010 that Marshall was involved in talks about a coalition programme for the second half of the Parliament:
- Lib Dems involved in this second initiative include Chris Huhne, the energy secretary, David Laws, former Treasury chief secretary, Julian Astle, director of CentreForum, the Liberal Democrat orientated thinktank, Paul Marshall, a hedge-fund millionaire and Tim Leunig, a Liberal Democrat minded academic at the London School of Economics who has also written for Policy Exchange, the leading Cameron thinktank.
- The Conservative team is led by Greg Clark, minister for decentralisation, and includes education secretary Michael Gove, and Times columnist Danny Finkelstein, a close ally of George Osborne. Both Finkelstein and Clark are ex-members of the SDP, the party formed as Labour moved left in the early 80s.
- But it also contains right-leaning Euro-sceptic Conservatives such as Owen Paterson, the Northern Ireland secretary, and Tim Montgomerie, editor of the Conservativehome website. Sajid Javed, the MP for Bromsgrove, is also involved.[3]
