Dow Jones Financial Adviser profiles wealth-management guru Karl Mills '82

The Dow Jones blog Financial Adviser dubs Karl Mills ’82 the “Artful Contrarian” for the independent investment spirit of his wealth management firm, Jurika, Mills & Keifer. “We wait for a good company to get taken out to the woodshed irrationally,” says Mills, the firm’s president and a Bates Trustee.
