For the Ghost of Christmas Past, I ask a selection of fund managers what advice they would offer their younger selves if they could turn back time; Cherry Reynard locks horns with the Ghost of Christmas Present, as she finds out what the experts have made of the past year and whether the reality met their expectations; and Phil Scott is visited by the Ghost of Christmas Future as he looks at the prospects for every major sector and region in the year ahead. Our sector focus this month falls on Japan, as Adam Lewis attempts to explain why its strong performance this year isn’t just the latest in a long line of false dawns, while as part of his regular retirement series, John Blowers finds out that the majority of people in the UK don’t have a clue about how much money they will need in their pension pot to retire comfortably. Jeroen Huysinga of the JP Morgan Overseas IT reveals which global stocks he is backing to thrive regardless of the wider economic situation, while Peter Walls may raise a few eyebrows with his contrarian investment trust selection. From everyone at Trustnet Magazine, have a great Christmas and we will see you next year. Anthony Luzio Editor Trustnet Magazine In association with:
