Fund Management – Is it luck or is it skill?

Fund management is a tricky business at the best of times, never more so during a global crisis. A fund manager’s job is to research and make decisions about buying and selling within an investment portfolio in order to get the best returns for you, the investor.

John Husselbee, head of multi-asset at Liontrust discusses the difference between luck and skill in fund management in this insightful article.
