Anton Tagliaferro has spent almost four decades as a professional investor. Now, the Investors Mutual co-founder is bidding the business goodbye to focus on life as a private investor – and to indulge in his true passion, football.

Malta-born Tagliaferro, who moved to Australia from London in 1984 before starting the $5 billion Investors Mutual funds business in 1998, is also co-chair of the Central Coast Mariners.
