MPS: An investment strategy to suit every investor
Thursday 17th November 10-11:30
Following the recent publication of our comprehensive annual MPS report, join us for an in-depth discussion of the advantages for IFAs and their clients of using a Managed Portfolio Service.
We will be joined by experts in the space, including Alex Funk, Chief Investment Officer at Schroders.
Alex will answer a variety of questions, such as:
- How do you define alternative investments and how are they structured in model portfolios?
- Fixed income hasn’t been the safe investment it usually is, how do investors recover from the recent falls?
- Does the traditional 60/40 portfolio need to change/adapt going forward?
- What kind of questions should advisers be asking MPS providers to be comfortable in selecting them for their CIP?
- Which asset classes are most interesting from a risk reward perspective over the medium term?
- What are some of the defensive/recession resilient holdings in your portfolios and what do you expect from them over the short/medium term?
- What should advisers be talking to their clients about as we move into recession?
