Chris Stott: One last call

Chris Stott: One last call

Guest: Chris Stott, former CIO of Wilson Asset Management.
Host: James Marlay, Executive Director & Co-founder of Livewire Markets.

At age 37 Chris Stott has called time on his investment career at Wilson Asset Management. Given the current state of markets I took the opportunity to have one final chat to hear his views on the year ahead. He presents a bearish outlook for the Australian economy fuelled by falling house prices and weak consumer sentiment.

But that doesn’t mean you can’t find good companies to invest in and make a return…

Tune in to hear about the attributes that Stott seeks out in difficult markets, lessons from his best and worst trades and one last call on a stock that can deliver regardless of the economic backdrop.
