In our podcast for September, Anna Fedorova speaks to Liontrust's co-head of UK macro equities Stephen Bailey about the 'Black Monday' sell-off in August and how it has affected equity markets.

The sell-off in August saw the FTSE index shed as much as 5% in one day as fears over an economic slowdown in China escalated. Bailey talks about the impact this has had on equity markets, and names the tailwinds for the asset class in the near future, while Aviva Investors' CEO Euan Munro discusses industry fee pressures. Meanwhile, Investment Week's Alice Rigby looks at the biggest news headlines of the last few weeks. Click here to listen and subscribe via iTunes.
