Mary Manning is Portfolio Manager for Ellerston Capital’s Asian and Indian funds.

Mary grew up in Calgary, Canada, but early on she knew she needed to get to New York to pursue her career in finance and investment banking. Driven to succeed, she completed her Commerce degree and got a job at what would become Citi investment bank. From there, she experienced the Asian crisis then relocated to Moscow to experience the Russian Crisis.

Over the years, Mary has worked across the world, while completing her MBA at Harvard and a PhD in Economics in Sydney. She’s worked for Howard Marks at Oaktree and George Soros at Soros Funds Management, among others.

Today, Mary is at the forefront of Asian markets and leads a team of analysts to find the fastest growing companies in Asia. Mary takes us through her process, misconceptions about China and emerging markets, the Indian opportunity and loads more.
