Founder, CEO and CIO, DoubleLine Capital
Jeffrey Gundlach is called the new bond king, the title once held by Bill Gross. He founded DoubleLine after a spectacular departure from his previous employer and built it into one of the largest bond managers in the United States. His webcasts are notorious for their outspoken views on debt, rates and the dollar.
On a list otherwise dominated by equity people, Gundlach is the bond voice. And the bond market is larger than the equity market and usually moves first: when the yield curve does something, bond investors tend to know before equity investors notice.
