In today’s episode, Shawn O’Malley (@Shawn_OMalley_) explores the highs and lows of famed investor Martin Whitman’s career. Whitman is the founder of Third Avenue Management, which, at its peak in 2006, managed 26 billion dollars across a handful of funds. For nearly two decades, Whitman outperformed market benchmarks with average annual returns of 12 percent.
