How Gordon Getty Got To "Aha!" (1185 words) |
 | Getty aims to help mutual funds with a perennial problem: how to cover redemptions without borrowing from a bank or selling off assets and paying the commissions and capital-gains taxes -- both costly solutions that erode returns. |
 | When Getty first got interested in mutual funds in the early 1990s, he wrote a paper for the Brookings Institution in which he argued that inflation could be licked by replacing national currencies with mutual funds. |
