Afinancial journalist can always tell when it is summer. It isn't just that newspaper pagination falls off the face of a cliff or that everyone goes on holiday and any query takes twice as long to get a reply from a somnolent press office.

Home on the range
18 Aug 2005
Last week's Money Marketing ran a story on the executive changes made at Bankhall and it seems an apposite time to give some contextual background to these changes.

Investment View: Wombling free?

No sooner had I suggested that Japan might be worthy of re-examination as a country in which to invest, than prime minister Koizumi called a general election. Typical. The uncertainty created demands a wait and see policy, at least for the time being.

Multi-management View: Fine in theory but does MPT really work?
18 Aug 2005
Portfolio diversification is becoming more difficult. Historically, one would have balanced a holding of UK shares with some in the US, Europe and so on, the theory being that when UK shares slumped, the loss would be offset by a gain in the overseas element of the portfolio.

Picking with-profits winners
18 Aug 2005
It must be remembered that, like stockmarkets, with-profits goes in cycles. I believe that investments in the right with-profits bonds - those with a high proportion of their underlying investments in equities and commercial property - will do well over the next few years, especially where the provider has a high, realistic free-asset ratio and good investment management.
