Hi Josh,
We'd like you to shoot Bruce Berkowitz, founder and the Managing Member of
the Fairholme Fund, today 3-4pm. You may arrive at 1:30pm. This is for a
6-col story and will run anywhere from 1/4 - full page, so shoot a variety
(if you can). I'm not sure what we're saying about Bruce. Let's get him
with a variety of expressions.
I'd love to see photos on Monday. You can send a weblink or send to my ftp:

The pitch:
Professional investors often say that they like to see that a company’s
senior management has a decent financial stake in their own firm. Shouldn’t
the same hold for a mutual fund manager? There’s a definite link between
fund performance and having some skin in the game. But according to
Morningstar, even fewer managers are investing in their own funds now. We
show what managers are big investors in their own funds--and some notable
ones who aren’t--and look at the changes taking place to encourage managers
to have more of their own money in their funds. (DeutscheBank, for one, now
pays managers bonuses in shares of their fund, not in DB company stock.)
