In this weeks podcast Charles Monchau joins us in Dubai, UAE. He is CIO & Head of investments at Al Mal Capital and has many years experience in the world of finance from investment banking, trading and investing. He holds CFA, CAIA, CMT and MBA which are some of the highest qualifications & accreditations in the world of finance.
I want to know what Charles and the institution he heads think of the current market environment, how we got here, what indicators we need to beware of, the range of financial products that would make for a balanced portfolio in the current economic cycle and what investments are likely to do well over the next year or so.
Let it be known that managing funds for an institution is very different to running funds for a personal account:
There are rules and regulations to adhere to, risk limits, management permissions and sign offs, weekly meetings to discuss performance and outlook as well as reporting to board members. The level of expertise required is as broad as it is deep and the level of understanding plus experience of markets, economics and the system we operate in, is vital to success.
From a personal perspective, this was a real eye opener into how the mind of a fund manager operates. You have to be sharp, analytical, able to express and have confidence in the research and conclusions that are drawn from the evidence (which is not always clear). Finally, as CIO you have to act on that information.
Listeners will enjoy this podcast as it is full of the topics all investors should be paying attention to. I am certain that everyone will learn something new.
