The market keeps the score
Thursday Apr 03, 2025
Thursday Apr 03, 2025
Prepared for UK professional advisers only. In this episode, Charlie Parker, managing director, and Fahad Hassan, CIO, discuss the foundations of Albemarle Street Partners' investment beliefs. In particular, the belief that most of the information available to investors has already been absorbed within the prices that are in the market. This means that the market is broadly reflective of the world as it is today.
In this close look at market efficiency and its impact on investment strategies, they go on to explore the challenges posed by market inefficiencies and how investment practices have changed in response to the amount of digital data now available in real-time. They explain how diversification helps to safeguard portfolios when balancing market information and effective investment strategy.
This is the second in a series of episodes focusing on Albemarle Street Partners' core investment principles.
