In the Room
With Ninety One
webinar
In April 2020, Stephen Backhouse sat down virtually with Ninety One’s Head of SA Quality and Portfolio Manager, Duane Cable to hear his views on why advisers need to think carefully about the risk of capital loss in short-term investing.
During the one-hour webinar, the two looked closely at Ninety One’s portfolio positioning over the short, medium and long term and their views on what’s happening in the world.
About Ninety one
Investing for a world of change
We are an independent, active global asset manager dedicated to delivering compelling outcomes for our clients.
Since we started in ’91 in an emerging market, we learned the importance of recognising and embracing change and uncertainty. It’s taught us that active investing can be a force for good. It’s also given us a different perspective on the issues that matter – from how we invest sustainably, to the major thematic and structural challenges facing investors. Today we offer distinctive investment strategies spanning equities, fixed income, multi-asset, alternatives and sustainability to help institutional investors, those advising others and individuals navigate an ever-changing world. Our corporate structure ensures employees are stakeholders in the firm and with our founding leadership still in place, we offer stability and a long-term outlook for our clients.
We focus on where we can make a real difference for our clients. We work with clients based all over the world who have entrusted us to manage £120.8 billion in assets on their behalf.
