    ""When we hired Neel, he didn't know the first thing about being an equity manager," Mr. El-Erian said. "But we wanted a best athlete to build this at Pimco.…We knew that there's huge opportunity there."

    I think El-Erian knows they didn't hire Neel to run stocks.

    Does any one know if Mark Kiesel has any experience running a similar strategy?
