Grantham is a prominent English investor with a background in economics from the University of Sheffield and Harvard Business School. He currently serves as the chief investment strategist at GMO LLC, a firm specializing in analyzing historical market trends and forecasting outcomes up to seven years ahead. Known for his contrarian approach, Grantham often buys and sells in defiance of prevailing market trends. His reputation was built on correctly identifying speculative bubbles, such as avoiding real estate during Japan’s late 1980s asset price surge and steering clear of tech stocks during the dot-com bubble of the 1990s.
