bhui02@netscape.net  (Ben), you asked:

<< I was wondering if someone can share with me, what does it take to be
a money manager / Fund manager from an academic stand point.

What kind of classes in Finance, Accounting and Statistics are necessary?
Can you share some of your thoughts and recommend some textbooks on
them?  Thanks so much in advance. >>

A PhD in economics would be a good thing to have to get such position as a Fund
Manager.  I know some fund managers and they have PhD's that was key to getting
their jobs.   Managing money/investments isn't so much about Finance,
Accounting or Statistics . . .it more to do with understanding economics which
is far less easy to quantify than these other subjects.
