The Big Money by Frederick R Kobrick

The Big Money by Frederick R Kobrick

For more than thirty years Fred Kobrick has managed money, either as a mutual fund manager or a hedge fund manager. He has built his success on practices that he developed and refined, and now he wants to pass these principles on to middle-class investors. The book will draw on Kobrick's experiences with a variety of companies during bull and bear markets. As he tells the stories, Kobrick shows how they illustrate his principles. Kobrick also outlines his seven steps to financial success, which are knowledge, patience, benchmarks, market timing, emotions, time horizons, and disciplines. These seven steps to successful investing are told through stories of companies that Kobrick has owned (or chosen not to own) over the decades, and he illustrates the principles by telling us about his investments in these companies. This is a book full of sound advice told in a lively manner for all those who care about investing in stocks.

Frederick R. Kobrick has managed money for more than thirty years. He spent fourteen years as an investment analyst at Wellington Management Company, then joined State Street Research & Management in 1985. He managed the State Street Research Capital Fund, which was one of the five best-performing funds in the country for fifteen years, according to USA Today. Kobrick's Capital Appreciation Fund was included in Money magazine's "Six Funds of the Decade" in 1996, and cited in USA Today as among the five best funds for the entire bull market.

Kobrick left State Street in 1997 to start his own firm, managing three public mutual funds as well as Kobrick Capital, a hedge fund for wealthy individuals and institutions. He was cited by The Boston Globe as one of the top three investors of the 1990s. Kobrick Capital was named USA Today's All-Star Fund of the Year in 1998 and 1999, the only mutual fund ever to win twice.

A frequent guest on financial programs on television, Kobrick currently advises institutions on a pro bono basis and also lectures. He teaches investment management part-time at Boston University, where he has served as a trustee.
