Daughter’s missed milestones list sees financier quit job

Mohamed El-Erian expected to go quietly. The one-time heir apparent to Pimco investment chief Bill Gross had no idea leaving the firm would create a fire storm.

But now the world-renowned financier has disclosed how his daughter played a major role in his decision last January to leave Pimco, which has nearly $2 trillion in assets.

El-Erian’s departure rocked the investment world. He said he decided it was more important to be a good dad than a good investor.
