Investment markets update

In the world of investment markets there’s so much ‘noise’ swirling around at the moment causing FUD (Fear, Uncertainty & Doubt). To bring a sense of clarity, we thought we’d raise a number of key issues with Craig Burgess, who is Head of Evidenced Based Investments – our selected Investment Partner.

In this latest podcast Duncan Orr, Swindell’s Chartered Wealth Manager & Director, asks Craig what is actually going on in the investment markets, what direction we should be going in and what actions we should be taking.
