Read the latest Stock Story from Magellan (Core Fund Manager) regarding one of one of our Core Holdings, Mastercard.

Mastercard is one of the most recognisable brands in the world. You may know Mastercard as the card in your wallet that can be used at merchants globally, or perhaps it’s from their memorable multi-decade ‘priceless’ marketing campaign.

Portfolio Manager, Elisa Di Marco taps into the underlying layers that support the consistency and strength of the business.
