A focus on the speakers

Today: Scottish Widows Investment Partnership

Topic: What To Do After a Poor Year? Not Every Year Can Be Vintage...

After the volatility in the markets over the last few years they will discuss why investing for the long term is essential, how fund manager experience really does count and how even for the greatest fund managers, great years can follow bad.
