"Running The Money" with Stephanie Link

Stephanie Link is chief investment strategist and portfolio manager at Hightower, a national wealth management firm. When she started her career in finance, Stephanie was just 1 of 3 women on a floor of over 500 working on a trading desk, where they couldn't wear pantsuits or sleeveless anything, but certainly had to wear stockings no matter the temperature. She and Haleh discuss how much has changed since then, the power of learning from life's challenges, and the "real" Jim Cramer.

Prior to joining Hightower, Stephanie was the senior managing director and head of global equities research at Nuveen, where she co-managed the CREF Stock Variable Annuity Portfolio with $170 billion in assets, managed her own US Core portfolio with $3.7 billion in assets and oversaw a team of investment professionals who collectively managed $40 billion. Before joining Nuveen, she spent seven years at TheStreet as Chief Investment Officer and co-portfolio manager of Jim Cramer's Charitable Trust. Before that, she was at Prudential Equity Group and Dean Witter Reynolds.

With so much experience, Stephanie's insights are frequently sought after for industry events and by the media. You might recognize her from The Halftime Report, Closing Bell and Squawk Box.
