M. Eric Mollenhauer ’93: Investment Management

Favorite leisure activity: Watching his kids’ athletics

After graduation, Eric Mollenhauer went to work for Fidelity Asset Management, and the fit was right. Twenty-one years later and now a chartered financial analyst, he manages retail, institutional and collaterized loan obligation portfolios in the firm’s Boston office, with a focus on the leveraged loan market. “The markets continually present new challenges,” he says. “You get a scorecard every day as to how you are doing versus your competition.” One of his earlier roles at Fidelity was research analysis of industries including entertainment and leisure, gaming and lodging, homebuilding, and printing and publishing. From 2003 to 2006 he was the Director of High-Yield Research, overseeing Fidelity’s high-yield research professionals and resources and managing a number of high-yield bond portfolios. Eric and his wife, Beth (Baril) ’94, have five children ranging from ages 8 to 19. Beth directs Teachers Training Teachers, a training program for Haitian teachers.
