  The 70/30 Portfolio

  16Aug2019

  Here we look at a strategy for investing. Obviously, everyone’s approach will be different. In this example we consider a simple split between a “steady Eddie” portion and a more “sex-and-violence” portion. It doesn’t matter what your preferred approach is: there’s something here for everyone.

  One word for investment insanity? Bonds

  16Aug2019

  There is a bond bubble. Bubbles are always dangerous for investors. This one is more dangerous than most as bonds sit at the centre of the financial system. That bonds are a worry is not new news, and an update on new extremes is needed. In the back of your mind, remember that debt brought the world to its knees in 2008.

  Dynamic Japan. Dynamic Performance.

  16Aug2019

  Japan has been one of the cheapest stock markets in the developed world for a number of years. It has been down for so long it has, typically, been overlooked by Western investors.

  Home or Away? Are you biased?

  02Aug2019

  We were contacted by the press this week about how investors allocate assets in their portfolios. Are investments evenly split or do investors have a preference for their home market (home bias)? Here we dig in to what a home bias is, does it exist and does it really matter.

  Markets ramble, the inner punter, and we all live happily ever after

  02Aug2019
