This is the first episode of A Fresh Take, an Investment Week podcast where we speak to members of the asset management industry with a variety of backgrounds about how they see the sector.

  • Anna Mercer, Square Mile
  • Bethan Dixon, Quilter Investors
  • Michaela Crisp, Wombat Investing
  • Alex Monk, Schroders

And to mark the launch of our new series we did a special feature with Karis Stander, managing director of diversity initiative Investment 20/20.
