It's back! fund5live returns with six dates (and five CPD points)

fund5live, the CPD-accredited investment roadshow for advisers, begins next week...

Six events will be held at a range of venues across the country this month (see below for dates), with presentations from some of the biggest names in fund management, representing a range of asset classes.

Speakers include Kames Capital's Stephen Snowden, Aberdeen Asset Management's Ben Pakenham and Mark Sanders, SWIP's Simon Wood and Mark Harries, and UBS's Helen Roughsedge.

A focus on the speakers

UBS Global Asset Management

Topic: Solving the Income Puzzle

Interest rates remain at an historic low of 0.5% and the Bank of England has shown no signs that they will increase rates any time soon.

This, combined with high levels of government debt, concerns over a double-dip recession, pressures on dividends and higher inflation expectations, create a challenging environment for advisers in meeting clients' income requirements.

During this session we will look at how diversified portfolios of investments can be structured to contend with these issues and provide advisers with sustainable income solutions to meet their clients' needs. We will also discuss our solution - the S&P rated UBS Multi-Asset Income Fund.

Speaker: Helen Roughsedge, senior strategist at UBS, (speaking at all events)
