Jack Bowers, 53, is the CEO of Independent Fidelity Investors, Inc., which publishes two newsletters, Fidelity Monitor and Fidelity Insight.

He also serves as chief investment strategist of Weber Asset Management and CEO of Bowers Wealth Management. The two advisory firms have approximately $300 million under management.

Bowers holds a bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from Washington State University.

Bowers continues to serve as editor of Fidelity Monitor, the newsletter he founded in 1986. Back then, he drew on his personal interest in investing and desktop publishing, and his 11 years of employment at Hewlett-Packard, to launch the monthly publication. "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."

Among newsletters tracked by The Hulbert Financial Digest, Fidelity Monitor is one of the top risk-adjusted performers over the last 20 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.
