The next Warren Buffett will be a woman

by Tom Bradley

How’s that for an enticing title? My friend, Kelly Woodall from Seymour Investment Management, sent me the article that goes with it. It’s a Bloomberg piece about female investors and how they’re more like Warren Buffett than their male counterparts.

Specifically, women are:

• More cautious

• Have a longer-term focus

• Not prone to panic

• And most importantly, are more patient.

It’s not a fluke that Kelly sent me the article. She’s one of a rare breed — a female portfolio manager.
