Media Alert: I'm quoted in this CNN Money story comparing private equity philanthropy overseas and in the US: "Private equity: Scrooge no longer."

My quote: "Private equity firms are very concerned about making any statements. They are being very circumspect," said Stephen Adler, chief executive of Charity Brands Marketing, a New York firm that advises private equity firms and hedge funds on giving. "They're all about being under the radar."

CNN journalist Grace Wong makes an excellent point about US private equity philanthropists needing to take a page from their counterparts across the pond.
