European equities, Brexit and Blur

Episode 7 - Eye of the needle podcast

It’s episode seven, and we’re talking to Philip Dicken, Head of European Equities, and Mine Tezgul, European Smaller Companies Portfolio Manager. We take a deep dive into the European equity market, and how it might be affected by wider macro conditions, look at why smaller companies are so compelling, and talk about their long-term investment philosophies. We also find out what they’re watching and reading away from the office, and look at three things to do with your IFA this month.
