America's largest money managers are listed here, in a descending order on asset base. Due to the size of the collection, this is not a complete listing. But it gives you an idea how large these large firms are.

The law of large number dictates that, when a firm gets to the same order of magnitude compared to the market it operates on, it becomes increasingly hard to "beat the market". Just to illustrate, the asset base of Berkshire Hathaway, as of 2007, is about $50 billion.

Concentrated Portfolio: We define a concentrated portfolio as there are less than 500 lines in the institutional manager's SEC filing. This is a rough estimate, but when you research a manager's investment practices, it is much easier to analyze these portfolios. On the other extreme, if a manager operates an index fund, the listing is quite useless unless the index portion can be filtered out as "background noise".
