Mark Curnin: Financial Services Rewards Specialization

Mark Curnin of White River Capital has unusual qualifications for a fund manager: A bachelor’s degree in Anthropology and Masters in International Affairs.

In a Q&A session with Value Investor Insight, Mark Curnin said the Anthropology degree proved useful in his current choice of career. “In anthropology you learn to operate without perfect information and try to uncover and then piece together critical clues in ways that provide insight,” he says. “If you think about it, investing is very much like that as well.”
