Helping investors traverse financial markets and build their wealth during the peaks and troughs is Janus Henderson Investors head of Australia Matt Gaden's game plan. He tells Karren Vergara why in this long game of investing, active management wins.
David, what is this safety net of which you speak, that is only provided by your members? It's a nice emotive catch phrase you often trot out, but it's devoid of any real meaning.
Also, your long-running angle on this issue paints companies as quivering idiots beholden to their bank. I think you'll find most self-respecting HRDs, CFOs, etc. will be able to work out whether a given fund is good for their employees or not, and accept or reject any proposals to make use of a retail fund in a suitably considered, rational manner.
