  • Volatility is back, so are the opportunities - Seb Mullins | Schroders

    39:52||Season 10
    Today we speak to Seb Mullins, Head of Multi-Asset and Fixed Income, Australia at Schroders. The past few months in markets have been a wild ride. After Trump's election the US market was up double-digits as investors thought tax cuts and deregulation would be great for stocks. Now, just months later, the tech-heavy Nasdaq is in a technical correction and European and Chinese markets are up double-digits. Our guest today thinks we should get used to this wild ride, because we're seeing a new normal for the market. Volatility is back. But rather than being nervous, Seb believes we should be excited. For it is in these volatile markets that great opportunities get presented. So strap in, focus on what matters, and get ready. According to Seb, stock picking is back. —------This episode has been sponsored by Schroders.
