Richard H. Driehaus ( born 1942 in Chicago) is a fund manager, businessman and philanthropist founder, Chief Investment Officer and chairman of Driehaus Capital Management based in Chicago, a firm which manages U.S. $3 billion. In the year 2000, he was named Barron's "All-Century" team of the 25 individuals who have been the most influential within the mutual fund industry over the past 100 years.

Education

Driehaus attended high school at St. Ignatius College Prep and holds a BSc 1965, MBA 1970 and an honorary doctorate degree from DePaul University in 2002.

Career

From 1968 through 1973, he developed research ideas for the Institutional Trading department at A.G. Becker & Co In 1973, he became Director of Research for Mullaney, Wells & Co In 1976, he became Director of Research and a money manager for Jesup & Lamont. He founded Driehaus Securities LLC in 1980, followed by Driehaus Capital Management LLC in 1982, Driehaus Mutual Funds in 1996 and Driehaus Capital Management (USVI) LLC in 1997.

Philanthropy

Driehaus has contributed a total of $3.74-million from 1984 to 1987, which is now worth $92-million. The foundation has distributed $20.5-million since its inception and will distribute $4-million a year, mostly in Chicago. Originally, Mr. Driehaus says, his plan was to give away only $100-million during his lifetime. But he now believes that he will end up parting with more than twice that amount.

Driehaus Prize

In addition to other philanthropic pursuits, the $200,000 Richard H. Driehaus Prize for Classical Architecture was established and is presented annually through the University of Notre Dame’s School of Architecture to honor a major contributor in the field of traditional and classical architecture.
