Michael Mauboussin

Michael J. Mauboussin joined Legg Mason Capital Management as chief investment strategist in 2004. Prior to joining LMCM, Michael served as managing director and chief U.S. investment strategist at Credit Suisse First Boston. He was also a member of the firm’s Research Review Committee. Michael joined CSFB in 1992 as a packaged food industry analyst. He is the former president of the Consumer Analyst Group of New York and was repeatedly named to Institutional Investor’s All-American Research Team and the Wall Street Journal All-Star survey in the food industry category. Mauboussin’s work focuses on the process of value creation from both the company’s and the investor’s standpoint. His multi-disciplinary approach draws ideas from fields including finance, strategy, psychology, and complexity theory. In 2004, SmartMoney magazine named Michael as one of its Power 30, a list of "the most influential people on Wall Street." Mauboussin’s ideas have been featured by a number of national publications, including The Wall Street Journal, Business 2.0, Forbes, and The Daily Deal. He is also highlighted in the books The Super AnalystsThe Warren Buffett Portfolio (Robert Hagstrom), and Stock Picking (Richard Maturi). He is the author of More Than You Know: Finding Financial Wisdom in Unconventional Places (Columbia University Press, 2006) and co-author, with Alfred Rappaport, of Expectations Investing: Reading Stock Prices for Better Returns (Harvard Business School Press, 2001). Mauboussin has also authored or co-authored articles for the Harvard Business Review, Journal of Applied Corporate Finance, Financial Management, and Fortune. Mauboussin has also been an adjunct professor of finance at Columbia Graduate School of Business since 1993. BusinessWeek’s Guide to the Best Business Schools highlighted Michael in 2001 as one of the school’s "Outstanding Faculty," a distinction received by only seven professors. He is also on the Board of Trustees at the Santa Fe Institute, a leading center for multi-disciplinary research in complex systems theory. Michael received a B.A. in government from Georgetown University.
