Book Description
More than 63 million Americans now invest in stock
mutual funds. Yet, among the thousands of available choices,
less than five percent consistently beat the Standard &
Poor's 500 index. The few managers able to surpass this
venerable benchmark are a rare breed indeed. Wizards Of Wall
Street reveals the secrets of 18 of the world's most
steadfastly successful mutual fund managers-all of whom have
outperformed the S&P 500 over the past five years, many for
much longer.
Kirk Kazanjian, a noted investment expert and personal
finance author, presents candid and telling interviews with
each manager, tracing their careers and uncovering their
successful stock picking strategies. Some, like David Alger,
Thomas Marsico, William Miller, and Jim Oelschlager, are
prominent in the press. Others, like Ronald Canakaris and
William Oates, avoid the spotlight and rarely grant public
interviews. Some look for growth at any price. Others keep a
strict eye on value. Some buy only established giants.
Others prefer small startups. All have indisputable track
records, fascinating backgrounds, distinctive styles, and a
wealth of knowledge to share.
The book culminates with a penetrating look at the traits
these pros have in common and provides a list of ten keys to
beating the market. Engaging and enlightening, Wizards of
Wall Street will captivate anyone interested in investing
for both pleasure and profit.
