A Trio of Picks from Some of Our Favorite Foreign Fund Managers

At Morningstar, some of our most interesting conversations are with fund managers about their recent picks. You may learn something about a company you've never heard of, or maybe get a new perspective on a company you thought you already knew.

Talking stocks with managers is also interesting because it offers insight into the mutual fund itself--the thought process that drives the research, the discipline behind the buy and sell decisions, and the creativity involved in seeing an angle that the market as a whole may be missing.

To close out International Investing Week, we reached out to some of our analysts' favorite foreign and global fund managers, asking for a recent stock pick and, in their own words, how the pick reflects the strategy behind the portfolio they run. We've published their responses, and a bit about each of their funds, below.
