George Soros is a man with unparalleled records. Someone invested $100,000 in 1969 when Soros set up the Quantum Fund, his investment would have grown to $130 million by the spring of 1994. This was the compound growth rate of 35 percent over a period of 25 years.
The methods adopted by Soros were more complex in nature and some are as follows:
- The speculations made by Soros were based upon internationally in commodities, currencies, stocks and bonds with massive amounts of margin. There was an extensive use of the derivatives by him.
- He in his view states that the financial world is more unstable, chaotic and governed by mass psychology. In the present world, the classical theory of economics, which states that there is always an equilibrium price, which represents the market-clearing price, does not hold good.
Arthur Lerner, who was working with George Soros has explained that: "George was one of the early ones who could figure out that you had to be global in your thinking rather than just being parochial".
Barton M. Briggs, an expert on investment management, has paid a rich tribute to George Soros by saying that, "He's the best pure investor ever".
