Investment funds and pensions scandal? Fund management risk and opportunity. Rates of return for investors, investment banking future, regulation and markets. Retail funds performance. Conference keynote speaker.

Yes - new miss-selling scandal likely in investment funds.

Funds managers do not recommend their products to their mothers? What is that? oh my god? it means there is no real ethics in this business? Somebody please clarify this point. Im confused.

The entire monetary system is controlled.

Your pesions will put a great big log on someone elses fire and you will be long dead when it happens!

SHEEP!

With the US bailout bill just passed this area of equity investment looks a bit stronger but it still is in a precarious position.

thank you for making the world a better place

Does that mean Asset Management job opportunity wont grow? It is important to me since I am a Finance student in college.

[pjvdixon]

Job opportunities will be there in asset management but expect remuneration to be based on last 3 years not 12 months.

[dieper2dieper]

can't you get a real education ?

[tubelincoln]

not sure what ur point is...I am in top 20 business school in the US...

Thanks for this video. Definitely makes you think about pension funds in general. Looking at the growth of the FTSE 100 over the last 10 yrs it has only returned 3.4% annually. If you then subtract the 1.5% management charge, you are left with 1.9% return per year. Better to put your money in a cash deposit account.

Just like any investment one needs to realize the volatility involved. One of my funds have lost close to 4k in the past four months. I would like to learn about the Real Estate Development firm. 27% in 2008?

[dom597167]

Tosh! 600% return since 2002 from one fund alone. Thanks very much!

Stick to saving lives.

[pjvdixon]

Well done you. I am just pointing out that the majority of fund managers of retail equity based funds do not seem to be recommending their own products to their own friends and family - based on my informal surveys lecturing over the last 5 years to managers controlling many billions of dollars of assets.

[janco333]

Two things I'd like to point out that you might want to think about.

600% return over 6 years doesn't mean anything, you have to look at consistent returns over 40 years(if investing for a pension)

There are more than a thousand funds out there, how did you manage to pick that one great fund? Will you be able to pick such great funds for the next 40 years or do you think this fund will continue to do well for the next 40 years until you retire?

[LaspaLaspa]

Great!
