Graham Duce
“There is no doubt the world economy will slow down in 2008, but the key question is, ‘Will the US economy fall into recession?’ The market is reacting aggressively to any signs that the world’s largest economy will retrench in 2008, as any economic report or Federal Reserve announcement is analysed for directional evidence resulting in volatile market shifts. We have introduced a new UK fund – the Cartesian UK Equity 130/30 fund – a new generation of funds able to take advantage of both rising and falling stock prices.”
