| Who is this guy? | Thomas J. Herzfeld is president of a firm bearing his name that specializes in closed-end funds. He's also president of The Herzfeld Caribbean Fund. And, often thought of as the guru of closed-end funds. | | How do ya say his name? | phonetic pronunciation "HERTZ FELLD" | |
| What's he manage? | A lot of private money for people and his own fund, The Herzfeld Caribbean Fund, (symbol CUBA). It's a closed-end fund that invests in the Caribbean. | | How long has he been doing this? | Tom first started trading closed-end funds in the 1960's, soon became and expert in the field and then went on to open his own firm. He has also written a bunch of books on the subject. | | how do closed-end funds perform? | Their performance, like that of their cousins open-end funds, is all over the board. One smart way to get a leg-up on closed-end fund investing is to look at those trading at a discount to their net asset value. | | Anything interesting about him? | Yep. He lives in Miami's South Beach area for good reason---he loves boating. | | When was the interview conducted? | May 10, 1999, over the telephone. Oh, don't let that occasional noise in the background bother you. It's only a lawn mower. |
