AlGore to Head New Investment Management Firm
2004-11-09
Given his track record of backing losers, I'd stay far, far away from this:
Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore was named chairman Tuesday of Generation Investment Management, a new London-based fund management firm that plans to create environment-friendly portfolios. Generation Investment will manage assets of institutional investors, such as pension funds, foundations and endowments, as well as those of "high net worth individuals," from offices in London and Washington, D.C.
Looking for big money libs.
Gore said the new company will carefully screen potential companies to invest in, choosing only those that meet specific standards on how they treat their employees and the environment. Growth prospects will also be considered, he said.
Note that a return on investment is a secondary consideration.
Founding partners announced Monday also include David Blood, former CEO of Goldman Sachs Asset Management....
The Blood and Gore Fund, catchy name.

#9  Al Gorelione into investments....hmmmm....like Al Sharpton and his "I quit" reality show....a fool and his money are soon parted.

So what happens to all the Dem lawyers now that they have nothing to do? Back to ambulance chasing, probate, and writing regulations?

#4  I have a few Mutual Funds. I will be watching their prosepcti somewhat closer now to see if they invest with this group. If they do, it's a sell.
It has occured to me, that it might be the opportune time to get some more specialty funds out there. Say, a Conservative Fund investing in those things conservative by nature. There are already loads (no pun here) of funds e.g. the Lutheran Fund, Catholic Funds, Carver funds to name a few that invest for their constituents who share their views.
I propose the Bush Fund would be a good one to consider as a name.

#2  I know this is probably an awkward question, but... what qualifies my man Al to manage an investment group?

#1  During the campaign, AlGore's endorsement was a leading indicator of failure. Wonder if he has the same "magic touch" picking stocks?
