When a group of prominent professional portfolio managers were asked who they would choose to manage their personal wealth, the person most often cited was Ralph Wanger. Warren Buffett came second.
Hailed by Newsweek as the 'dean' of small-cap investing, Ralph Wanger explains the principles of investing in small, rapidly growing companies whose stocks will yield well-above-average returns.
Wanger's experience is that investors behave like zebras in lion country: if they stay with the herd they have to settle for meager pickings. If they want richer rewards at the outer edge, they have to take greater risks because that's where the lions lurk. He shows investors - whether they are investing in funds or buying stocks on their own - how to achieve the right balance of safety and risk to survive and prosper in the investment jungle.
Regarded as a classic in the field of investing, A Zebra in Lion Country is as entertaining as it is instructive.
"Ralph Wanger is an outstanding investment professional with two rare and important attributes: humility and a sense of humor. This book will help you understand what he looks for when he selects stocks. Its fascinating accounts of his winners and losers will entertain and educate you simultaneously."

"Ralph Wanger's book is witty, a fast read, and above all makes excellent investment sense."
- David Dreman, author of Contrarian Investment Strategies
