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.
