Jean-Pierre Aubin, co-chief executive officer at HCI, has spoken about the impact of the September 11, 2001 attacks on his company, then known as Cantor Fitzgerald, which lost 658 of its 900 New York employees. He stated that the firm survived due to its partnership structure, and that in the years following the attacks, employees were not paid and 25% of profits — approximately $200 million between 2001 and 2004 — were given to victims' families. He noted that BGC commemorates the date annually with a day of solidarity, donating 100% of that day's revenue to charities worldwide, generating between $12 and $13 million. Aubin has also commented on the financial industry, stating that the battle for the Paris financial center against London is lost, but that Paris retains strengths in clientele, banks, and insurance companies. He described the mergers and acquisitions market as "very lively" and expressed confidence in the equity market. Separately, in a 2015 homily, Aubin discussed the season of Advent, referencing the prophet Isaiah and urging listeners to follow the example of the Virgin Mary by allowing themselves to be shaped by God.
“Après les attentats du 11 septembre 2001, 658 personnes sur 900 à New York ont péri, ce qui aurait été fatal pour beaucoup d'industries, mais grâce à la structure en partnership créée bien avant, l'entreprise a pu survivre.”
“Dans les années qui ont suivi le 11 septembre, les collaborateurs n'ont pas été payés pour permettre à la structure de se redresser, et 25 % des profits ont été donnés aux familles des victimes, représentant environ 200 millions de dollars entre 2001 et 2004.”
“Le 11 septembre est commémoré chaque année chez BGC par une journée spéciale de solidarité où 100 % du chiffre d'affaires de cette journée est reversé à des associations à travers le monde, générant entre 12 et 13 millions de dollars de dons.”
“Nous avons racheté plusieurs structures en France, notamment Aurel Leven, pour redévelopper notre activité de courtage et devenir à nouveau numéro deux mondial, en combinant courtage monétaire, recherche et technologie.”
“Le métier du courtage évolue avec la montée de l'électronique et des algorithmes, mais il y aura toujours besoin de vendeurs sophistiqués qui apportent du conseil et une relation client différenciée.”
“La place financière de Paris souffre des nouvelles réglementations et de la baisse des activités de trading dans les banques, mais nous restons positifs sur le marché des actions et les fusions-acquisitions qui sont très vifs.”
“La bataille pour la place financière entre Paris, Londres et Francfort est perdue pour Paris face à Londres, mais Paris conserve des atouts avec un tissu fort de clientèle finale, notamment des banques et compagnies d'assurance parmi les meilleures mondiales.”
“Please give me a minute to acknowledge those many people who are watching throughout New England, in Michigan, Louisiana, Tennessee, and the Virgin Islands, as well as many other locations throughout the world at catholictv.com.”
“There we are in the second Sunday of Advent, the season of expectation — the season of anticipation.”
“Yesterday we set aside that day to celebrate the feast of the Immaculate Conception to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary — the tenet of our faith, our advocate of grace, our example of great holiness.”
“Today the church draws our gaze, our attention to one of the great prophets of the Old Testament — the prophet Isaiah.”
“What Isaiah is really saying here is pleading for a proper reconstruction of everything that is wrong with the very being — such as the valleys of selfishness, the highways and the heels of indifference, and the roads of self-absorption; these things prevent us from being ready for the Lord.”
“Our blessed mother did her part by letting herself be shaped by God; may we follow her example by being instruments — by being people that are easy to shape ourselves by God during the season of Advent and beyond.”
