Fund Manager
A highly trained investment professional with a vast amount of investment experience with good performance and exceptional formal education. The fund manager's main responsiblities include investing the assets of a mutual, pension, trust, or hedge fund, implementing investment strategy and managing the day-to-day portfolio trades.
Investopedia Says:
The whole point of investing in a fund is to leave the security picking to professionals. Therefore, the fund manager is one of the most important factors to consider when looking at any particular fund. Researching a fund manager's past performance in the last five or more years will tell you a lot. Have they had consistent performance? Have they bounced around from fund to fund? Do they have a history of underperforming?
