New Masterclass: The Long and The Short of Risk

We are delighted to announce that a date and topic have been set for the first of our Professional Masterclass events to be held in 2017. Taking place on Thursday 23^rd February, the session will look at the topic of risk from two perspectives.

To take us through what is set to be a stimulating and thought-provoking session, we will be welcoming James Clunie from Jupiter Asset Management and Alex Wheelan from Vanguard Asset Management as our speakers.

To start us off, James Clunie will be discussing how utilising long/short investment strategies can assist in managing investment risk. James, who is Head of Strategy at Jupiter and manages their Absolute Return Fund, will explain the concept of taking short and long positions in the market along with the theory of when and how the strategy works.

To follow, Alex Wheelan will direct our attention to the fascinating topic of investor behaviour in relation to risk. As an authority in the area of behavioural finance, Alex will discuss the role of risk in financial decision making, revealing the cognitive and emotional biases when choosing investments and how these can influence outcomes.

CPD Points

Accountants and solicitors alike will benefit from attending the Masterclass; gaining a valuable insight for themselves and their clients. As Gresham is a CPD accredited organisation, all professionals in attendance will qualify for 1.5 CPD points.

I am only in this position because of you. One of the best decisions I have ever taken going with GWM.

With great thanks for all your reassuring attention over the last year. It means more to me than I can express in a few words.

I just want to thank you and your team so very much for all you do for me throughout the year. It is a real comfort to know that my investments are in such capable hands. I literally couldn’t do it on my own.

We are both very grateful for the time you spent with us in explaining various options. We certainly feel we now both have a much better understanding of our situation & the decisions which we need to consider moving forward.

Thanks again for your advice, you have given me the kick I needed to take control and I’m very grateful for that.

We feel we can phone at any time during office hours if we need anything clarifying. Our financial adviser knows our personal circumstances and is in tune with our goals and lifestyle. His advice has been and continues to be excellent.

You’ve solved that dilemma for me… Thank you for being so clear and honest as always.

A very personalised service… All advice is tailored to my needs with great consideration to issues I may not have thought of myself. I feel confident about my future finances.

Thank you so much again for your time and brilliant advice.

Just a big thank you for all you have done for our family. We do appreciate it.
