"Barton Michael Biggs" was a money manager whose attention to emerging markets marked him as one of the world's first and foremost global investment strategists, a position he held—after inventing it in 1985—at Morgan Stanley, where he worked as a Partner (business rank)/partner for over 30 years. Following his retirement in 2003, he founded Traxis Partners, a multi-billion dollar hedge fund, based in Greenwich, Connecticut. He is best known for accurately predicting the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s.
