Dan Fuss of Loomis Sayles & Co, is a legendary bond manager, who spends 50 years (yes 50!) of his career searching for bonds from all over the globe for distinguish niche Institutional Investors.
This guy, 76, whom we have not heard of has a stellar track record. He is not as well known as Bill Gross of Pimco, but among the well learned people take what he says into consideration.
What happens when someone who manages bonds all his career favors stocks instead?
