Rhys Brock has been a Motley Fool contributor since late 2017. Originally a literature graduate with a passion for writing, his travels took him to the United Kingdom and the Cayman Islands, where he made ends meet working administrative jobs in banking and hedge fund administration. This exposure to the global finance industry uncovered a fascination with international markets and investing. Now back in Australia, and having passed all three levels of the CFA Program, Rhys is keen to share his passion for investing with Motley Fool readers.
