Findings from MOM Gatekeepers October 2021

THE CONTEXT: 

Our first Meeting of Minds Gatekeepers took place on Tuesday 12 October as a hybrid event. The findings below capture the outputs from the programme of eight interactive roundtables which took place.

This event is a strategic forum organised on a biannual basis by Owen James. It brings together heads of fund selection and fund research from the top 100 UK investment companies (FUM >£1b) across both wealth management and advisory.
