The Ratings Radar Show: finding the right blend in global equities

Loading player...
If you’ve been investing in equities, you’ll have noted that the past year has seen ever changing leadership between growth and value. So it’s little surprise that blended funds, which combine both worldviews, have seen enormous amounts of inflows in recent months. 

Frank Talbot runs the rule over the sector while Nisha Long maintains the flows theme with a look at the bond funds which have enjoyed huge inflows or have seen the money flow out by the billions. 

Angus Foote wonders whether traditional asset allocation has had its day and Richard Lander asks the questions.
