[This Week's Books] 'Bond King' and Others

Bond King

This book captures the life of Bill Gross, the "Bond King." Gross is a unique figure in the bond market. He grew PIMCO, which was once just a single business unit of the life insurance company Pacific Mutual, into the world's largest bond management firm. From only three employees including himself in 1971, he expanded PIMCO into a company with 2,500 employees 48 years later. To shed multifaceted light on Gross's life, the author met about 200 people including Gross's wife, friends, founding partners, first clients, and PIMCO colleagues. The book was also completed by researching public disclosures, court records, lawsuit materials, and news. (Written by Mary Childs / Translated by Lee Eunju / Ire Media)
