Buffett Fan Douglass Best in Australia on Magellan Global

[Guest ajc]

When Hamish Douglass’s first child was born in 1999, he wrote to Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Chairman Warren Buffett to tell him that he had bought shares of the company to give to his son when he turned 21.

 

“I became fascinated with this whole school of thought about Buffett and investing,” said Douglass, who with Chris Mackay went on to start Magellan Financial Group Ltd. (MFG), a Sydney-based fund manager whose assets have tripled to A$15 billion ($14 billion) in the past 12 months.
