Hawkins has been in the investment business for more than 25 years and was one of the original founders in 1975 of Southeastern, of which he is now the majority owner. He has managed the Longleaf Partners Fund since its inception in 1987 and the Longleaf Partners International Fund since its inception in 1998.
