Investment Influencers
In partnership with Allianz Global Investors
Who are the Investment Influencers?
The fund selection and research sectors play a major part in the UK's asset management industry, but who are the key individuals in these areas?
We have identified them as those who not only control the allocation of fund flows and decide ratings, but are respected by asset managers for the depth of their knowledge, the honesty of their views, their professionalism in analysing and selecting funds, and the responsibility with which they manage clients' assets.
To see and hear how these leading industry practitioners tackle the markets, Investment Week has brought them together in a series of interviews we call the Investment Influencers.
