ILT001 | Investing For The Long Term with Judith & Rosemary: Part One of an Investors Journey

Episode notes

Have you ever wondered what a fund manager does, how they think, the types of investments they look for and what led them to pursue careers in finance and investing? Join Judith MacKenzie, Head of Downing Fund Managers and Rosemary Banyard, Fund Manager, as they peel back the veil and share their guiding principles and experiences from careers spanning multiple decades in the finance industry as investment fund managers. In this first part of a six-part series, Judith, and Rosemary share how they got started in finance and some of their experiences as women in finance, both good and not-so-good. They share their biggest influences and why they pursued careers in finance. This was a real insight into two seasoned fund managers and what it was like for them in their early careers during the late 80s and early 90s. They finish off with an introduction to the capital markets and why they are important for the UK economy and how Judith is actively working to help improve the investing landscape for both companies and investors alike.
