Ben Kumar – Investment manager at Seven Investment Management – joined Nick Batsford and Zak Mir in the Tip TV studio to discuss politics, and implications for the markets.
Concerns for UK business.
With ongoing political turmoil in Greece potentially being rehashed in the coming election, Kumar believes the UK is taking on board some of that sentiment with the recent Labour leadership election and forthcoming EU referendum. With Corbyn now in the driving seat for Labour, and still rallying support, there are some serious concerns for UK business.
Still a silver lining in China’s markets?
Despite the torrential selloff witnessed since summer, witnessing a 40% tumble in the Chinese stock markets, Kumar believes that investing in China was still a good bet for 2015. It may not have been as smooth as other markets, but it has still offered very strong returns over the course of the year.
