In this podcast, Mark provides his feedback from attending the Fundsmith Annual Shareholder's Meeting as well as the first Fundsmith regional event in Manchester. Fundsmith, under the guidance of legendary portfolio manager Terry Smith, invest in equities on a global basis and the company’s approach is to be a long-term investor in its chosen stocks. The 'Question in a Bottle' is from Matt Ellis who asks Mark, how did he start investing and what advice would he give to people who were thinking of starting their own portfolio today?

The Desert Island Investor podcast is a series of podcasts that document the experiences and strategies of private investor Mark Atkinson. Mark's long-term investments have enabled him to become financially independent and to retire at the comparatively early age of 53. This episode of the podcast is generously hosted by London City based analysts Progressive Equity Research.
