We’re nearing the end of the year, and that means one thing here at GuruFocus. It’s time again for GuruFocus’ readers to choose the Investment Guru of the Year.
Since 2005, our readers have been helping us make our annual determination of the Investment Guru of the Year. The selection process involves two steps. In the first step, we ask users to nominate their choices. When the initial choices have been submitted, GuruFocus whittles the list to the top five or six. Those nominees will be put into a poll, and GuruFocus users will be able to vote for their Investment Guru of the Year. The Guru who gets the most votes will be named Investment Guru of the Year.
We do want to avoid naming a Guru who has been Investment Guru of the Year before so we ask that you refrain from nominating someone who has been honored in the past.
The following Gurus have been named GuruFocus’ Investment Guru of the Year:
2005 – Warren Buffett (Trades, Portfolio)
2006 – David Dreman (Trades, Portfolio)
2007 – Ken Heebner (Trades, Portfolio)
2008 – Prem Watsa (Trades, Portfolio)
2009 – Bruce Berkowitz (Trades, Portfolio)
2010 – David Tepper (Trades, Portfolio)
2011 – Seth Klarman (Trades, Portfolio)
2012 – Bruce Berkowitz (Trades, Portfolio)
2013 – Carl Icahn (Trades, Portfolio)
Please submit your nominees by Monday, Dec. 22, 2014.
