Morningstar, Inc., the brainchild of stock analyst Joe Mansueto, has been a leader in the investment research field for more than thirty years, striving to deliver financial information into the hands of advisors and independent investors alike.
Though headquartered in Chicago, IL, other major Morningstar offices can be found in New York City, Shenzhen, London, Mumbai, and Sydney. As part of the Morningstar Development Program, you’ll most likely be starting your career in the Chicago office, only a few short blocks from Lake Michigan.
