Magellan Financial Group Ltd (ASX: MFG) Co-founder and Chief Investment Officer Hamish Douglass joins Owen on The Australian Investors Podcast to share his story, investing globally, disruptive technology and how his life has changed.
In addition to growing Magellan into a multi-billion dollar business, Hamish has held positions on the Foreign Investment Review Board, the Financial Literacy Board, the Takeovers Panel and on the board of the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute.
In this conversation, Owen and Hamish get into the weeds of what Hamish and his team look for in global opportunities, how they value businesses and what the future holds for investors and society more broadly.
While all of that makes for a very entertaining conversation, we think you’ll thoroughly enjoy hearing about Hamish’s journey before Magellan, why he moved into funds management and some of the early learnings.
