Summary: "The New Money Masters" by John Train is a book that profiles eight leading securities traders and mutual fund managers of the 1980s. The book is a sequel to Train's earlier work The Money Masters, published in 1980. It focuses more on the business tactics and investment strategies of the profiled individuals rather than their personal lives and personalities. The profiles cover investors such as James Rogers, Peter Lynch, Michael Steinhardt, George Soros, Philip Carret, George Michaelis, John Neff, and Ralph Wanger. The book describes their unique investment approaches, from Rogers buying into secondary markets to catch economic trends, to Lynch's relentless pursuit of new winning investments for the Magellan Fund. Many of the investors profiled express concerns about economic conditions in the 1990s and favor more conservative investment strategies over spectacular gains at that time. The book also includes discussions on the management of large endowments like Harvard's, as well as the challenges facing "old money" families and their wealth management. Overall, the book provides an insightful look into the investment world of the 1980s through the lens of some of its most successful and influential figures.
