Bill Gross founded a little investment management company called PIMCO, which currently has $1.77 trillion in assets under management (AUM). At one point in time, Mr. Gross was the biggest bond fund manager (by value) at one point in time, and PIMCO actually sunk when he moved to work for Janus Capital Group back in 2014.</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 18.6px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">Bill Gross is a different kind of big-time investor, and warns would-be capitalists against investing in “zombie corporations” – by putting money into the real economy with corporations that you feel good about both ethically and financially. He also stressed diversification and taking chances that are rooted in exhaustive research, as well as maintaining enough liquid cash on the side.</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 18.6px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;"><br></p><h2 class="vc_custom_heading" style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 1.42383rem; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; line-height: 1.125; font-family: Poppins, Roboto, sans-serif; letter-spacing: -0.025em; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><u>Peter Lynch</u></h2><div class="wpb_text_column wpb_content_element " style="margin: 0px 0px 35px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;"><div class="wpb_wrapper" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;"><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">Famous Quote:<br><strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent; font-weight: bold;">“Your investor’s edge is not something you get from Wall Street experts.

For decades, diversified portfolios have been fattening up a lot of people’s retirement funds – thanks to the overall global growth that we’ve witnessed (interrupted by some sporadic recessions). The S&P500 Index has done very well, and only some of the most talented investors around have managed to generate better returns – and you can include Peter Lynch in that list.</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">Lynch is known mostly from his management of the Fidelity Magellan fund, where he beat the S&P500’s annual growth for 11 of the 13 years that he was there (up until 1990). He consistently achieved more than double the index’s yearly returns and helped lift the organization’s assets from $18 million to $14 billion in value. This legendary investor coined the phrase “invest in what you know” – which I bet you’ve heard before!</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px;

Across the globe, he is widely known as being the most successful investor in history – mostly because of the small amount of money he started out with (he is currently worth close to $85 billion). Mr. Buffett is referenced constantly in all sorts of financial publications, and investor hopefuls take his advice extremely seriously.</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">If you open up the front pages of news sites like Business Insider or Forbes, you are likely to see a link with Buffett’s name mentioned – and there is a reason for that. He heads Berkshire Hathaway, and literally makes markets move wildly in either direction by just making a simple comment. His students have learned to understand the value of companies by paying attention to earnings conference calls and understanding their balance sheets – as well as only evaluating the price of a share after properly having confidence in the organization.</p><p style="margin: 0px;

Most Americans at least recognize this name as a source of low-cost mutual fund investments, but John “Jack” Bogle is known for so much more than that. In fact, Fortune magazine named him as one of the “four investment giants of the 20th century” back in 1999, and his book “Common Sense on Mutual Funds: New Imperatives for the Intelligent Investor” is a widely-read classic that’s highly regarded in the investment community.</p><p style="margin: 0px;

When it comes to winning streaks, Mr. Miller is one of the most widely-known successes in the investment community. For 15 solid years, between 1991 and 2005, his Legg Mason Value Trust beat the S&P500’s yearly return. Back in 1999, he was named the “Fund Manager of the Decade” by Morningstar.com.</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">Miller successfully grew his fund from a measly $750 million to over $20 billion (assets under management) up until 2006. Even last year he was cranking out similar success: his Opportunity Trust beat the S&P500 by nearly double at certain points last year. He is considered to be a value investor, but heavily believes that any stock has the potential to be a value stock “if it trades at a discount to its intrinsic value.”</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;

His name is Charlie Munger, and he is currently Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway – which is currently the 8th-largest private employer in the United States. The CEO of the organization, Warren Buffett, has often described Munger as his partner.</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">Apart from Berkshire Hathaway fame, Mr. Munger is held in high regard for his success as chairman of Wesco Financial Corporation – a diversified financial institution that he led from 1984 to 2011. He focuses his strategy on investing in a concentration of high-quality companies with products or services he personally believes in. Charlie is also lauded by the investing community for his philanthropic efforts – having donated hundreds of millions to universities around the country, both public and private institutions.</p><p style="margin: 0px;

While Warren Buffett’s focused on his four principles of investing as a checklist for picking stocks, Weiss only focused on one single metric – which would have generated more profit for Buffett had he followed her game plan.</p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.5rem; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">Even more amazing: She used the name G. Weiss for about a decade before revealing she was a woman, due to the initial rejection her work faced.</p><p style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; background: transparent;">She focused on simply dividend yield, buying stocks when they are within 10% of their highest dividend yield and unload them when they get within 10% of their lowest. While her beginnings in investing were heavily influenced by Benjamin Graham’s 10-point checklist, she departed with her own technique and really became successful when she embraced her own instincts. Weiss will always be a true investing legend, and a role model for women investors back in the day.</p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
