How I Got Started in the Investment Business

As an undergraduate at Yale, I took a class with David Swenson. He didn't want me to go to business school and he said you're not going to learn anything about investing. But I really had an interest in trying to work directly at markets. And so my summer job at business school, I worked for a hedge fund that Yale had money with. They were value long growth short when Amazon went from $40 to $260 the same summer.
