INTRODUCTION This post carries a double message. It is about an investment industry consultant, Morton ‘Bud’ Watnik, but his story is more important as a member of the Greatest Generation. INVESTMENT WORK When I joined the pension area at RJR, Bud was already consulting on the pension fund. His mathematical models helped us better understand the individual securities that our managers owned. Bud’s approach to dealing with the investment managers was sometimes demanding and unappreciated, but he was respected. (His military background may have contributed to his aggressive demeanor, although he was always a gentleman to me.)
