What about the fund managers? Well, most of you do a decent job, I guess.
A small thing; perhaps we could lose that plate of stale biscuits you keep putting in front of me in our meetings. It’s not that I don’t like biscuits; on the contrary I could murder a McVitie’s, but we both know it’s not going to happen.
Rules are rules and it’s far too uncouth to start gobbling a garibaldi while you’re enlightening me on your gilts exposure. Out of politeness, those biscuits have been sitting there for at least a decade. No, I’ll just make do with a sparkling water and a Dulce Gusto, thanks.
Anyway, I digress. After last month’s splurge SHAM has decided to sit tight for now. If anything, I’ll start topping up the funds I already have rather than bring in new names.
You see, now is not a time for ego; I’ll keep my head down and hope for the best, like every other money manager.
No harm in thinking big every now and then though, right?
