Shard Capital Podcast: The Opportunity Cost
In this week’s podcast “The Opportunity Cost”, Richard Bacon and Ernst Knacke from Shard Capital and LeifBridge continue their conversation about the rise of Model Portfolio Service (MPS) solutions and the potential risks they carry. In their first conversation back in July, they asked the question “are low-cost investment solutions about to get expensive?”.
This week they emphasis not only the lack of defensive characteristics MPS solutions typically offer in times of market weakness and heightened volatility; but also their neglect of the more specialist areas of the investment universe that can protect, even thrive, in these conditions.
Listen in to the conversation below:
