Gary Lyons is a portfolio manager on the Asset Allocation team at Morningstar Investment Management LLC, as well as co-lead on active-passive portfolios. And Nabil Salem is an Associate Portfolio Manager on the Asset Allocation team, as well as the global asset class lead for emerging markets stocks at Morningstar Investment Management.
