Barton Biggs
BARTON BIGGS spent thirty years at Morgan Stanley. During
that time, he formed Morgan Stanley's research department
and lead it to prominence as one of the best in the world.
He also formed the firm's investment management division,
and served as its chairman for thirty years. By the
mid-1990s, Morgan Stanley Asset Management was annually
adding more new institutional accounts than any of its
competitors. At various times during this period, Biggs was
ranked as the number one U.S. investment strategist by the
Institutional Investor magazine poll and then, from 1996 to
2003, as the top ranked global strategist. He was also a
member of the five-man executive committee that ran Morgan
Stanley until its merger with Dean Witter in 1996. In June
2003, Biggs left Morgan Stanley and with two other
colleagues formed Traxis Partners—the largest new hedge fund
of 2003. Traxis now has well over a billion dollars under
its management. Biggs has spoken at forums in every major
country and has appeared on CNBC and other programs on more
than 300 occasions.
