Jeremy Grantham
Born in 1938 in Britain, Jeremy Grantham co-founded GMO, a Boston-based asset management firm, and served as its chief investment strategist. His advance warnings of every major bubble — the 2000 dot-com crash, the 2008 housing bust — earned him the title 'bubble-prediction guru.' He also launched one of the earliest index funds in the 1970s, making him a contrarian intellectual investor of rare prescience.
