How does psychology impact the decisions of a fund manager? How do fund managers invest through periods of recession?
Judith MacKenzie, Head of Downing Fund Managers, and Rosemary Banyard, Manager of the VT Downing Unique Opportunities Fund, answer these questions and share insights into their careers as fund managers on the Fund Your Retirement podcast, in the fourth of a now seven-part series.
This week the managers discuss ignoring market ‘noise’ and staying true to their investment style during periods of volatility and market irrationality.
Judith founded Downing Fund Managers in 2010, the boutique investment arm of Downing LLP, a distinctive suite of funds and investment solutions that differ from the mainstream. She also manages the Downing Strategic Micro-Cap Investment Trust plc (DSM) alongside Fund Manager, Nick Hawthorn.
Rosemary Banyard manages the VT Downing Unique Opportunities Fund, a strategy that invests in unique businesses that can achieve above-average returns on capital, based on a sustainable competitive advantage.
