Morningstar UK: Podcasts

This month we bring you the very best from our Investment Conference, featuring views from the brightest money minds around. First up, what the experts think of the different global investment regions.

In the UK interest rates have been at a record low level for more than six years but it is looking increasingly likely that the Bank of England will raise rates within the next year. Morningstar Editor Emma Wall speaks with J O Hambro’s Clive Beagles about Which Income Stocks Will Benefit from an Interest Rate Rise.

Lets now get an update from across the channel. Henderson European equity investor John Bennett speaks with Emma about how euro weakness is good for stock markets and that if the euro strengthens it will quickly halt any outperformance.

Is it Time to Sell US Equites? Federal Reserve chief Janet Yellen has said that US equities look fully valued and interest rates are due to rise imminently. Emma Wall and US Equity Fund manager for Artemis Cormac Weldon discuss if investors should be curbing their US exposure.

For an Emerging markets update, we were extremely pleased to have Dr. Mark Mobius of Franklin Templeton speak to us at the Morningstar Investment Conference. Dr Mobius tells investors not to be put off by negative headlines and that Africa Offers the Best Emerging Opportunities.

Retirement was a key theme at the M* investment con¬ference this month. Many investors are confident they're saving enough for retirement. When it comes to an income in retirement we found the public prefer income drawdown strategies to an annuity.

Conversely on the other side of the Atlantic, American investors are turning to annuities to provide a steady stream of income in retirement. We get a view from Morningstar’s own Matthew Radgowski, on What Pension Savers Can Learn from US Investors.
