Fidelity's World
The Secret Life and Public Power of the Mutual Fund Giant
By: Diana B. Henriques
416 pp. Scribner 1995
Review by: Lydia Morris Brown
|
This unauthorized account of Fidelity’s world represents a monumental feat of investigative reporting. Henriques deftly probed more than 60 years of documentary records (SEC documents, sworn depositions, personal and office records of some of the many players in the Fidelity drama, newspaper and magazine clippings, press releases, and academic papers) and drew on both on-the-record and confidential interviews with dozens of Fidelity veterans. Fidelity’s World is a must read for students of finance and investors trying to protect their life’s savings. The result is an important resource that not only shines a long-overdue light on a preeminent mutual fund complex, but also provides valuable insight into the history and culture of the mutual fund industry.
