This Thursday, we’re pleased to welcome Peter Harrison, CEO of Schroders, back onto the show. To mark this exciting upcoming release, we’re resharing his first interview on the Money Maze Podcast. Peter appeared on the podcast as our very first guest back in March 2020, just prior to the COVID-19 lockdown.
In this episode, Peter covers his ascent to CEO, and the journey from managing money to managing an investment business. The conversation moves to him talking about the compelling opportunities in global asset management, contrary to some gloomy commentaries that we often read. He talks of the shift to managing money to solve problems and not simply to be benchmarked, and the evolution of active and passive strategies.
He describes Schroder’s vision of serving the individual customer, both affluent and high net worth, with the help of more electronic applications, a wider public and private offering and trying to help them avoid classic pitfalls of poor timing in entering and exiting the market. He also explains why although he thinks ESG must be embedded in your investment process, it will morph into a more coherent drive for impact investing.
Peter also gives his thoughts on the growth of private equity, and the challenge facing stock markets buffeted by weighty regulation and diminished liquidity. He then discusses advice for the young thinking about future career, and some of the characteristics he looks for in potential hires.
Stay tuned for this Thursday, where he shares his analysis on the investment landscape in 2023!
