巴菲特致股东的信原文精读Day447:
原文:After a while, most of the family members realize that they are not doing so well at this new“beat-my-brother” game. Enter another set of Helpers. These newcomers explain to each member of the Gotrocks clan that by himself he’ll never outsmart the rest of the family. The suggested cure: “Hire a manager — yes, us — and get the job done professionally.” These manager-Helpers continue to use the broker-Helpers to execute trades; the managers may even increase their activity so as to permit the brokers to prosper still more. Overall, a bigger slice of the pie now goes to the two classes of Helpers.(2005)
释义:1.“clan”意为“家族”;
2.“cure”意为“对策”、“疗法”。
精译:过了一段时间,大多数家族成员意识到,他们在这个“打败我兄弟”的新游戏中表现不佳。又来了另一群助手。这些新来的助手向得宝家族的每个成员解释说,仅靠自己,他永远不会比家族里的其他人更聪明。他们建议的解决方案是:“雇佣一名经理人来专务投资,没错,就是雇佣我们。”这些经理人继续利用经纪人来执行交易;经理人甚至可能会加大交易频率,而这会让经纪人也过得更加滋润。总的来说,现在这两类助手切走了很大一块的财富“蛋糕”。(2005年)
心得:经纪人提供的是交易服务,要收取佣金;经理人提供的是投资管理服务,要收取管理费和业绩报酬。这两类人拿走的钱,都是得宝家族(也就是美国企业的全体股东)“贡献”的。
