Martin Romo has spent more than 30 years at Capital Group — starting as a summer associate and now serving as chair and chief investment officer. In this conversation with Mike Gitlin, he shares lessons from his journey and explains the three pillars of The Capital System™: collaborative research, diverse perspectives and a long-term view. 

You’ll hear Martin’s take on: 

• What many investors misunderstand about today’s markets 

• Why he focuses on the “what” instead of the “when” 

• The warning signs he looks for in the research process 

• How Capital Group’s culture and history shape decisions  

A rare behind-the-scenes look at leadership, investing discipline and the mindset that drives long-term client outcomes. #CapGroupGlobal
