5 questions for a fund manager – Philip Best

This questionnaire is inspired by Proust’s famous questionnaire…

1. What are your favourite working tools?

My ears and my eyes…

2. What is the best working environment for you?

Calm, to be objective and detached…

3. Which investor impresses you most?

I don’t really believe in heroes – everyone has weaknesses and makes mistakes.

4. The job you wouldn’t have liked to do?

Miner… I’m pretty claustrophobic!

5. Which financial book would you recommend to any investor?

There are many, but I strongly recommend “Simple but not Easy” by Richard Oldfield.
