Author Jerrold Fine
A hedge fund industry pioneer, Jerrold Fine at age 24 started one of the first hedge funds in 1967, along with two Wharton colleagues. Nine years later he founded a private investment firm and managed it, while surviving and thriving during a multitude of market shifts before converting it into a family office in 2014. When the character Rogers Stout entered his consciousness and refused to leave, he launched his career as a novelist. A graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, he has served multiple terms on its Undergraduate Executive Board and Board of Overseers. Running his family’s investments, Jerry has conveniently forgotten his baseball batting averages but still relishes memories of winning poker hands. He lives in Connecticut with his artist wife and a ridiculously spoiled Portuguese water dog. Learn more…
