Three Kings of Investment

Buffett | 1 Comments | Tue 24 Jul 2012

When asked who he would like to manage his money upon retirement Warren Buffett answered with a list of three men. First is Seth Klarman of the Baupost Group, next is Greg Alexander of the Sequoia Fund and third is Li Lu who is principal of Himalaya Capital (and a former student Leader in Tianamen square - I recommend reading his truly inspirational book on the subject :- 'Moving the Mountain: My Life in China').

Given his love of his investment role - we don't expect Buffett to step down while he is fit and well, but considering his investment genius his answer certainly merits attention.

Here are a few resources on these three kings:
