About this person
Guy Spier was born February 4, 1966, and carries Swiss, German, and Israeli citizenship. He built his career in investment management from a base in Zurich, working the markets with a value-oriented approach. In time he distilled what he'd learned into The Education of a Value Investor, a book that doubles as both memoir and manual. The work stands out in finance writing for its frankness about mistakes and evolution. He remains active in Zurich, managing capital and living the discipline he documented.
