Mark revisited a blog post from 2020 earlier this week, check it out https://www.capitalcitytraining.com/news/under-the-bonnet-of-a-fund/

“I thought this might be interesting to look at again: In November 2020 I analysed two leading funds that had both returned 80% over the preceding year to see how expensive or cheap the funds were.

Gifford Growth Trust in contrast is down 47%”

Our first Fireside Chat of 2022 will be held on Tuesday 25th January @ 5.30pm to discuss "2022 – The great crash or a soft landing?"

Markets finished 2021 with a whimper rather than a BANG and a “Santa rally”, so what next?

• We’ll look at the outlook for 2022 and all of the big issues facing financial markets and the world of investment banking.
• We’ll also glance back at what were the big deals and stories of 2021, who made money and who lost it.
