‘Screened, Themed and Engaged 2017’ – panel videos

Last week we held our annual Good Money Week event at the Museum of London.

The event was a great success, well attended and well received.

Formal proceedings included presentations from Simon Howard (UKSIF), Guy Turner (Trove Research) and myself (Julia Dreblow) as well as five round table sessions with fund managers (listed below) and a panel session (all previous speakers plus additional guests – see below).

The quality of the video recording is not great – but the conversation was none the less lively and interesting.  You can view the recording below also.
