At Brown Advisory, understanding human behaviour is integral to our investment process. That’s why two of our portfolio managers, Ali Bayler, CAIA, and Mick Dillon, CFA, were delighted to have a conversation about the human side of investing with Morgan Housel, a writer noted for his ability to step back and see what really matters in the investment world. Morgan Housel is a partner at The Collaborative Fund and a former columnist at The Motley Fool and The Wall Street Journal. He is a two-time winner of the Best in Business award from the Society of American Business Editors and Writers and a two-time finalist for the Gerald Loeb Award for Distinguished Business and Financial Journalism. Morgan writes on investing, fear, greed, happiness, and how human behaviour and finance intersect. Morgan may be most well-known by the general public today for success of his recent book, The Psychology of Money.
