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 and Retirement Planning at Morningstar.

Our guest this week is Martin Lau. Martin is a managing partner of FSS investment managers,

part of First Centaur investors. He's been at the firm since 2002 and is the lead fund manager of various

FSSA strategies, including the FSSA Asian Equity Plus Fund, the FSSA China Growth Fund, and the FSSA

Hong Kong Growth Fund. Martin has been in the investment business for nearly three decades and is based in Hong Kong.

Morningstar's analysts have recognized Martin's achievements on a number of occasions,

most recently in 2020 when they named the FSS Hong Kong Growth Fund,

the winner of the Best Hong Kong Equity Fund Award.

Martin earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Cambridge University,

as well as a master's degree in engineering from Cambridge.

Martin is a CFA charter holder. Martin, welcome to the Longview. Thank you, Jeff. Thank you so much for joining us. It's a real pleasure to have you on the podcast. You're a very accomplished investor, but might not be as familiar to some of our listeners here in the U.S.

You were trained as an engineer but found your calling in managing portfolios.

So to get started, can you talk about how you began your career in investment management?

Yeah.

Thanks, Jeff, for the time and also for the question.
