I embarked on my investment journey at the age of 8, courtesy of my aunt who set me up with a stock broker and arranged for investment reports to be delivered to my doorstep. Since those early days of investing in Alaskan oil, Pan Am, and S. S. Kresge (the precursor to Kmart), my investment expertise has undergone a significant evolution. I earned a Ph.D. in Finance, wrote a best business book (while at Harvard), and launched a series of successful hedge funds, mutual funds and ETFs based on a proprietary Entrepreneur Factor developed as a Professor at Babson College (#1 in Entrepreneurship). After passing the CFA designation, I created a CFA test-prep company that trained over 12,000+ investment professionals in 110+ countries worldwide. I have also worked for the World Bank and helped facilitate capital market development in Central Asian states. I appear frequently on Fox Business, CNBC, Yahoo Finance, Bloomberg, WSJ, and Barrons where I discuss Capital Markets, Wealth Creation, Entrepreneurs and Investment strategies. (www.ershares.com)
