This week, our Head of MPS; Ash Weston was drafted by the FT’s Asset Allocator Podcast team to discuss a handful of hot button topics – whereupon in traditional fashion, Ash managed to fill 25 minutes almost entirely unaided by the hosts!
The podcast team asked four fairly straightforward questions;
Q: Is there a right or wrong way to manage clients’ money?
Q: As someone on the “inside” can you talk us through how investment committee meetings work, how they shape investment policy and any obvious pitfalls?
Q: How (and do?) risk-variable portfolios work in a world of defined risk profiling?
Q: It’s no secret that multi-manager is a business of ever-tightening margins. What are the downsides of this (besides the obvious)?
