Our Wimbledon hopes are in Andy Murray’s hands but will he be more aggressive?
As a classic counter puncher Murray has been advised to be more aggressive on court, if wants to secure his first Grand slam title.
This follows a slightly disappointing start to the season, where he has been accused of not hitting out and forcing his opponent to make a mistake, instead of relying on his defensive qualities to outwit opponents.
Should this same aggressive attitude be used to improve investment portfolio performance?
The simple answer to this is that it depends on the current circumstances and this is what Murray must weigh up with each opponent he meets in SW19.
Each match will present a new set of challenges and he must evaluate how he is to defeat his opponent, every time he walks on court.
The same is true in portfolio management where a regular review of the current circumstances needs to be made and tactical adjustments made throughout the year.
Murray cannot be expected to use the same tactics in every match if he wants to go on and win a major and portfolio management needs to be flexible enough to adapt in the same way, to secure client approval.
In two weeks, we will know Murray’s fate and if he has successfully adopted new tactics or kept to what he does best, unfortunately portfolio management take a little longer to prove its worth.
