The Editors
Jack Bowers is the CEO of Independent Fidelity Investors, Inc., publisher of Fidelity Monitor & Insight. He also serves as chief investment strategist of Weber Asset Management and is CEO of Bowers Wealth Management, Inc. The two advisory firms have approximately $550 million under management. Bowers holds a bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from Washington State University.
Bowers founded Fidelity Monitor in 1986. Back then, he drew on his personal interest in investing and his engineering background from 11 years of employment at Hewlett-Packard. "It was tough to get much information on mutual funds in 1986." says Bowers. "I set out to create a model-based service that would show readers how they could win by staying fully invested in stock funds." In 2009 he purchased another long-time Fidelity newsletter, Fidelity Insight, and merged the two in 2012 to form Fidelity Monitor & Insight.
Among newsletters tracked by the hulbertratings.com, Fidelity Monitor & Insight is one of the top risk-adjusted performers over the last 30 years. During that time Bowers has been credited with outstanding performance by the Wall Street Journal, Money Magazine, U.S. News, The New York Times, USA Today and Investors Business Daily. He has appeared on the Forbes Newsletter Honor Roll twice.
