Peter Lynch is an American investor, mutual fund manager, and philanthropist who is widely regarded as one of the most successful and influential figures in the investment world. Here's who he is:
Peter Lynch was born in 1944 and rose to prominence as the manager of Fidelity's Magellan Fund from 1977 to 1990. During his tenure, he delivered an extraordinary performance, achieving an average annual return of 29.2% and growing the fund from $18 million to $14 billion in assets.

Lynch is known for his investment philosophy of "invest in what you know," encouraging individual investors to use their personal knowledge and experiences to identify promising investment opportunities.

After retiring from fund management at the relatively young age of 46, Lynch has devoted his time to writing influential investment books (including "One Up on Wall Street"), philanthropy through the Lynch Foundation, and serving as Fidelity's vice chairman. His approach to investing and ability to communicate complex financial concepts in straightforward terms has made him an enduring figure in investment education and strategy.
