About the author
William W. Priest is an American investment professional and author known for writing about investing, shareholder returns, and the global economy. Publisher and bookseller listings connect him with works including Free Cash Flow and Shareholder Yield and Winning at Active Management, and more recent audiobook listings credit him as a coauthor of Consequences.
According to Wiley’s author information, he spent about four decades in investment management, largely as an analyst and portfolio manager, and was associated with Credit Suisse Asset Management-Americas and its predecessor, BEA Associates, before helping found Epoch Investment Partners in 2004. Other professional profiles describe him as a cofounder and senior investment leader at Epoch, reflecting the close link between his writing and his career in asset management.
His books focus less on market hype and more on how companies create value over time. That background gives his writing a practical, experience-based angle that will likely appeal to listeners interested in finance, investing, and the wider forces influencing business and democracy.
