Description:

Fisher Investments is an independent, global money management firm headquartered in Woodside, CA. The firm was first founded in 1979 as a sole proprietorship by long-time Forbes columnist and best-selling author, Ken Fisher. It was later incorporated in the state of California in 1986, and then reorganized as a Delaware limited liability company. Fisher Investments currently manages billions across two principal business units - Fisher Investments Institutional Group and Fisher Investments Private Client Group. The Fisher Investments Institutional Group serves a global client base including corporate, public and multi-employer pension funds, foundations and endowments, insurance companies, healthcare organizations and governments. The Fisher Investments Private Client Group, was founded in 1995, to provide institutional-level capabilities directly to high net worth individuals. Today, the Private Client Group serves thousands of individual investors, maintaining the commitment to exceptional client service that it was founded upon.

In early 2000, the firm's wholly-owned subsidiary, Fisher Wealth Management, began offering Fisher Investments' services to investors in the United Kingdom. In 2007, Grüner Fisher Investments GmbH became a joint venture affiliate of Fisher Investments, which provides its services to investors in Germany. Fisher Investments is a registered investment adviser with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

Ken Fisher is well known for his Forbes "Portfolio Strategy" Column that he has been writing since 1984, making him the fourth-longest running columnist in the magazine's history. He has also authored six books, including the 2006 New York Times bestseller, The Only Three Questions that Count. Building on the success of that book, together with John Wiley & Sons, Inc., the firm launched Fisher Investments Press, a publishing imprint designed to offer investing education to a wide audience. The first release under the new imprint was Ken's fifth book, a New York Times bestseller entitled The Ten Roads to Riches. Ken's latest bestseller, How to Smell a Rat, was released in August 2009, also under the Fisher Investments Press imprint.
