Ackman is considered by many the unofficial heir to legendary US investor Warren Buffet. Together with TASE CEO Itai Ben Zeev and chairman of the Israel Securities Authority Seffy Zinger, acman will open TASE trading on Tuesday.
In an interview given to “Globes” last December before the Israel Business Conference, Ackman said, “From a business perspective, Israel is he best place to be at the moment.”
