India’s politicians are one of the “major problems,” Rogers told the Wharton India Economic Forum via videolink from Singapore. The country has the “single worst bureaucracy in the world.” If a person can deal with that, “there are fortunes” to be made by investing in India, Rogers said.

Rogers and Soros helped steer the fund to a miraculous 4,200% return over the 10 year span of the fund while the S&P 500 returned just 47%. They ran what is considered to be one of the first truly global macro hedge funds. . In 1964 he got his first job on Wall Street at Dominick & Dominick in the summer between high school and Yale University, that's how he got his first experience with stocks and bonds.

That same year he joined Arnold S. Bleichroeder, where he met George Soros, and together founded the Quantum Fund. This has opened a new era of global macrotrading and inspired numerous imitations and spin-offs.
