Byron Wien, Vice Chairman of Private Wealth Solutions group, speaks during the Reuters Global Investment 2019 Outlook Summit, in New York, U.S., November 13, 2018.
Wien built his wide following on Wall Street during two decades at investment bank Morgan Stanley (MS.N) where he rose to be the firm's chief investment strategist of the United States.
Soon after, at age 76, when most people were enjoying retirement, Wien joined private equity firm Blackstone to offer direction and guidance.
"My wife hopes I give this up as soon as possible," Wien told the New York Times about writing it.
He told the New York Times in 1985 "I'm not sure I can do this job," about the strategist role at Morgan Stanley.
