Praise for CAPITAL

" Indeed this book represents a perfect pairing of one of the most astute observers of the investment scene with one of the most outstanding investment firms ever created."
--From the Foreword by Burton G. Malkiel, author of A Random Walk Down Wall Street

"This is a great story about great people with a passion for long-term investment success through discipline, planning, and patience; joined to imagination, innovation, and vision. Many valuable insights."
--Peter L. Bernstein, author of Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk

"At last! A revealing, insightful, knowledgeable perspective on one of the world's great investment management organizations by the deft hand of Charley Ellis."
--John Neff, professional investor

"Packed with entertaining anecdotes and pearls of wisdom (don't neglect the footnotes!), Capital takes us on an intimate tour of a premier investment management firm. Another classic by Charley Ellis."
--Jack R. Meyer, former president and CEO, Harvard Management Company

"Few people know the investment management business as well as Charley Ellis. This book offers a rare inside look at Capital, one of the best investment organizations. This text is a whodunit, tracking the development of a world-class investment firm and the people who drove it."
