Welcome podcast listeners. We have a fantastic episode for you today.

Last year when we published the Best Investment Writing

Volume 2, we offered authors the opportunity to record an audio version of their

chapter to be released as a segment of the podcast and listeners loved it. This year we're bringing you

the entire volume of the best investment writing volume 3 in podcast format.

You'll hear from some of the most respected money managers and

investment researchers all over the world. Enough for me. Let's get to our guests and
