The two fund managers at Tellsons, the boutique fund manager, found a strange coincidence when they first met to manage the Endeavour Fund.

Apparently, they were both born in Caracas, Venezuela, at around the same time. Christoph Wiedebach and John Bishop had fathers who had jobs in the city at the same time. Mr Wiedebach’s father was an obstetrician, while Mr Bishop’s was a senior executive for Coca Cola.

Grapevine wonders what the two fathers would make of Venezuela now.
