Barry Ritholtz

Barry Ritholtz is founder and CIO of Ritholtz Wealth Management, a registered investment adviser. He previously wrote "The Big Picture" blog and authored "Bailout Nation" about the 2008 crisis. He hosts the "Masters in Business" interview podcast on Bloomberg, where he interviews leading investors, economists, and researchers. Ritholtz has built Ritholtz Wealth into a firm that combines evidence-based investing with extensive content creation — employing well-known bloggers and podcasters who attract a large following for the firm. The firm manages billions for retail and institutional clients. His Masters in Business podcast, now with hundreds of episodes, has become one of the most substantive interview series in finance, with conversations running two to three hours and covering investment philosophy, career histories, and research in greater depth than most financial media formats allow.
