Hi, and welcome to the Longview. I'm Jeff Patak Chief Ratings officer at Morningstar Research Services.

And I'm Christine Ben's, Director of Personal Finance for Morningstar.

Our guest this week is Hamish Douglas. Hamish is the co-founder, chairman, and chief

investment officer of Magellan Financial Group, a roughly $80 billion asset management firm

headquartered in Sydney, Australia.

Among his duties, Hamish is lead manager of the Magellan Global Equity Strategy,

which is a concentrated portfolio of high-quality growth stocks.

Bank in Australia and New Zealand. Hamish received his undergraduate degree from the University

of New South Wales.
