Financial Planning Week & Investment Market Outlook
In this episode of Informed Choice Radio, it’s Financial Planning Week 2016 and we get an investment market outlook from Fidelity International.
Martin was a guest on the Morning Money show on Share Radio very early on Monday morning, at the start of Financial Planning Week 2016.
He shares a recording of the interview with Share Radio presenters Nigel Cassidy & Emma Wall during which he talks about the value of Financial Planning.
Also in this episode of Informed Choice Radio is an investment market outlook from Kevin O’Nolan, a portfolio manager at Fidelity International.
Kevin joined Fidelity 2008, and is Portfolio Manager across a number of multi asset strategies. During his time at Fidelity, Kevin has been instrumental in the development of their Tactical Asset Allocation capabilities.
Martin asked Kevin for his general outlook before chatting about how this has changed over the past year, how much of an influence the EU Referendum is having on markets, and whether commodities are now staging a recovery.
