So many of us invest in funds, through savings, pensions and ISAs, but how many people have actually met the person managing your investments?  The world of fund management may appear somewhat obscure but there are real people managing money - what does their job involve and what is happening with the current stock market?  The best way to answer these questions is to talk direct with a fund manager and find out their view on where opportunities lie, what investments they are looking at and what this means for you.  

But meeting a fund manager is understandably hard to do, until now.  

Thanks to Philippa Gee Wealth Management and Lanyon Bowdler Solicitors, Shropshire is about to benefit from a unique visit from one of the country's leading fund managers, who will be taking part in a 'Question Time' style question and answer session, speaking first-hand and in straightforward terms about the world of investments and just what they involve. James Foster, of leading company Artemis Investments, is regarded as one of the best bond Fund Managers in the UK. He has 20 years experience of managing bond funds and was one of the first to establish a retail bond fund in the UK. James has managed all the major bond asset classes, focusing more recently on discretionary bond portfolios.  With his colleague, Alex Ralph, James manages the Artemis Strategic Bond Fund.

This fascinating Q&A session will be held on 11 February 2011 starting at 11.00am, and will be hosted by Lanyon Bowdler at their offices on Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury. Philippa will be firing the questions at James, but there will be the chance for those attending the event to have supplied any specific questions they may have, prior to the event.  

This is a rare event and an opportunity not to be missed, as there will be the chance to learn more about this area of investment, and what a Fund Manager actually does and the implications on you and your investments.  In the current stock market climate, with knowledge being power, can you afford to miss it?  

To book a free place on this event, and to submit advance questions for James Foster to possibly be asked on the day, please contact Rachel Donaghey on 01952 224047 or email rachel.donaghey@lblaw.co.uk.
