her youtube videos garner millions of views so let's dive in and take a look at 15 things you didn't know about kathy wood number one quick background kathy wood grew up in los angeles where she attended the all-girls catholic school notre dame academy she went on to get her bachelor of science degree in finance and economics from the university of southern california it was at usc where she found her mentor economist arthur laffer he remembers first meeting kathy saying it was clear something was really driving this young lady after her study she went on to work as an economist at jenison associates for almost two decades and it was there where kathy found her niche into investing number two making her own path during her time at jenison she became frustrated over the fact the analysts wouldn't give her any good stocks to manage she felt like she was the underdog looking for scraps under the table so inevitably she started looking where no one else was paying attention she found companies that were sitting at the intersection of multiple industries and quickly realized that's where the real innovation happens kathy later moved on to join alliance bernstein where she oversaw a multi-billion dollar portfolio still her performance was compared to benchmark indexes and the idea of starting her own company fund came into her mind interestingly she turned to god for guidance you cannot worship any idol the benchmarks were becoming an idol so in 2014 kathy left alliance bernstein and started her own company aptly named arkan vest number three going the opposite direction before wood started arc the stock market was entering a passive management movement pretty much all the investors were moving their stocks into index funds which were safe but provided little returns over long periods of time kathy wanted something else and she believed the real value lied in disruptive technologies and this way of looking at innovation has been a pillar of her success the second reason she wanted her own company was to do more complex research she wanted the liberty to harness the power of social media to expand her network to look into crowdsourcing and basically to be in the middle of the action she figured out that in order for a company to truly move ahead in the pack and become hugely profitable in the future it needs to create its own industry and market and she has found the perfect candidate tesla number four the tesla call this was probably the move that put kathy on the map in october 2018 she made a now famous prediction we believe that tesla should be priced in the marketplace today at two thousand dollars and we believe that's conservative our best case is a four thousand dollar price target in five years she was wrong not with the price but with the time it happened just two years later when tesla saw an astronomical rise for kathy and her investors that meant a cool 12 000 profit increase she said that others failed to see the big picture electric cars are getting more popular batteries are getting cheaper and better and that means production costs will be lower prices in turn will be more accessible and demand will eventually surge and that's pretty much what's happening the world of investing suddenly had a new stock market profit number five bold predictions one thing kathy wood is known for is her bold

disruptive sectors in her view electric cars autonomous vehicles and digital wallets will be some of the most important markets to keep an eye on and when you think about it the fintech industry has

investors after the gamestop saga where individual investors managed to bankrupt a whole hedge fund people in the stock market world started to pay more attention to what's going on with retail kathy mentioned that big institutions like hedge funds don't have the luxury to play the long game because they're benchmarked every year based on past performance so investing in a company that has no profits for the first five years isn't really a good plan for them since it could get them fired with individual investors however they don't have an investment career to put at risk they don't really care about past performances and they have no problem going yolo to the moon on the stocks they like number 10 what the future holds the last couple of months saw a decline in kathy woods returns with her famous innovation fund crashing by 31 some say the gravy train can't last forever but she remains confident in her ability to judge the future her assumption is that people will constantly embrace new technologies that solve key problems in their life and when you look back at what history has told us this was always a thing the phone disrupted the letter tv killed the radio eventually digital wallets will make cash useless if there's something we can say for a fact it's you cannot stop technological progress all you can do is make sure you're on the right side of change and this leads us
