Global guru

Global guru: Harvard's $30 billion endowment chief

When you first meet Mohamed El-Erian, 48, who heads up Harvard University's $30 billion endowment, two things immediately strike you: First, he's incredibly sharp, particularly when it comes to highbrow things like geo-political economics; second, despite being one of the world's most respected money managers, he's the antithesis of a hubristic hedgie or swaggering Wall Streeter: the Oxford and Cambridge-educated Egyptian is enormously polite and charming.
