Guy Spier, Hedge Fund Manager and Value Investor

Today, my repeat guest is Guy Spier, a Zurich-based value investor and author of The Education of a Value Investor, whom I have now interviewed twice.

Guy manages the Aquamarine Fund, an investment partnership inspired by, and styled after Warren Buffett's 1950s investment partnerships. In June 2007, Guy paid US$650,100 with Mohnish Pabrai for a charity lunch with Warren Buffett. 

Guy previously worked as an investment banker in New York and as a management consultant in London and Paris. He has an MBA from the Harvard Business School and holds a First Class degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics from Oxford University. On graduating from Oxford, he was co- awarded the George Webb Medley prize for the best performance that year in economics.
