Abstract
This article examines in detail how John Maynard Keynes approached investing in the US stock market on behalf of his Cambridge College after the 1929 Crash. We exploit the considerable archival material documenting his portfolio holdings, his correspondence with investment advisors and his two visits to the US in the 1930s. Whilst he followed his enthusiasm for common stocks, he was equally attracted to investing in preferred stocks. His US stock picks reflected his detailed analysis of company fundamentals and a pronounced value approach. Already in this period, therefore, it is possible to see the origins of some of the investment techniques adopted by professional investors in the latter half of the twentieth century.
