  "account": "Peter Lynch, the investing legend who managed the Magellan Fund at Fidelity, outperformed the S&P 500 in 11 out of his 13 years as the fund's manager. This impressive feat was achieved during the dotcom boom when Magellan peaked at $102 billion in assets under management in 2000. Today, the Magellan Fund has a much smaller $27 billion in assets, thanks to the rise of ETFs. Lynch's tenure as the fund's manager began in 1977 and ended in 1990. Under his leadership, the fund grew from $20 million in assets to over $14 billion by 1990. Lynch's exceptional performance is supported by his annual average return of 29.2%, which is considered one of the best in the business.",
