Rising interest rates has been the dominant theme driving market performance for months and, with this, one would usually expect for fast growing stocks to struggle as a result. However, as Damian Barry (MASECO Chief Investment Officer) and George King (MASECO Senior Wealth Manager) discuss in their latest 'In Conversation With' piece, recent events have certainly defied any such expectations.
 
Damian and George dive in to the topic of the ‘Magnificent Seven’ companies that have been driving the market in recent times, discussing why historically it would be expected for them to struggle in the present climate, why they believe they haven't, and discuss the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) as an increasingly pervasive theme over the course of the last year.

In addition, within this podcast, Damian and George discuss the recent change in client portfolios in relation to Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), what they are, the differences between ETFs and Mutual Funds, and what the benefits of this change are for clients.
