T
he third quarter of 2017 saw
politics both at home and abroad
hitting the headlines.The party
conference season passed without
providing clear answers on issues such as
Brexit, while in EuropeAngela Merkel
remained as German Chancellor but
with a narrower margin of victory than
she would have hoped for.
Elsewhere, the US continued its
economic recovery despite bad news
in the shape of two destructive
hurricanes and another mass shooting.
In this edition’s ‘The Investor
Centre’, our Chief Investment Officer,
Chris Ralph, reviews these events in
more detail, ColumbiaThreadneedle
Investments’ Richard Colwell discusses
active portfolio management, and
AXA Investment Managers’ George
Luckraft reflects on his 10 years
working in the investment markets.
