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.
The underlying premise here is that social media following is the only metric worth looking at. More valuable is consideration of:
> What is the SM strategy?
> Who are the followers?
> Does the follower profile meet the strategy objectives?
> What is the share of voice being achieved by the fund relative to its size?
Above all, the overriding metric must be: 'How does following in social media translate into brand loyalty, brand reputation, improved member retention etc.'
We find that we can't afford not to have a SM presence as this is where people like to share their experiences about the brand and a few select it as their preferred channel to communicate with the brand. So we use social media to engage, educate, raise the profile of our brand but overall, we are there just to listen and reply to enquiries comments and the occasional complaint.
