The cream always rises to the top
With 2009 delivering returns beyond many expectations, the question for 2010 is whether the global recovery can continue after the stimulus has dried up. The huge debt issues that we faced 2008 still remain. The debt has simply shifted from the private sector to the public sector as the financial problems have been nationalised. The next stage of the
recovery process is how Governments
intend to manage their debt levels.
As such this issue's features have focused on equity managers closer to home in a bid to try and avoid any direct fallout of any issues that we may see in overseas markets. |
