Wheeler Munger & Co. -- Who is Wheeler?

[schin]

Munger began his investment career independent of Buffett. From 1962 until 1975 he managed Wheeler Munger & Co., an investment counseling firm, from a grungy office in the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange building. Munger’s investment record did not match Buffett’s in those years, but he earned a highly respectable compound return of 19.8% a year before fees and after expenses.

Good article about Charlie from Forbes. Does anyone know who "Wheeler" from "Wheeler Munger & Co." is? Or what happened to him/her?

 

Also, are there any letters to partners on Charlie's investment times?

I don’t know but that’s a great question!

I hope someone responds with some info.

This link has a long passage from the Snowball that provides some of the narrative -

I completely don't remember that section from Snowball.

That section about Munger from the Snowball is fantastic. Thanks for posting it.

For those who have access to Barron's, they have a wonderful article interviewing the lady who was Munger's personal assistant for the last 31 years of his life: https://www.barrons.com/articles/charlie-munger-close-up-warren-buffett-berkshire-bff539ca?mod=hp_LEADSUPP_2
