Bill Laggner

Bill Laggner went into the investment industry in the late 1980s, initially as a stockbroker, and then moved to the buy side at Fidelity Investments out of Houston, Texas, where he set up a trust company and a discretionary money management service. Kevin Duffy and Bill Laggner are the brains behind the Bearing Fund. In case you have not heard of the Bearing Fund, it is a hedge fund that has outperformed the majority of macro funds since inception. Bill met Kevin in the ’90s and both cut their investing teeth on the short side of the tech bubble markets that imploded in 2000. They formed Bearing Asset Management in the early part of this decade after the tech bubble imploded, and their track record has been among the best performing hedge funds this decade.
