Richard Woolnough shares what set him on the path of a career in investments. We discover why he switched from equities to bonds, and from sales-side to buy-side and his thoughts on active versus passive. But does he carry out the same risk-reward assessment when it comes to is approach to ‘full fat vs diet’ coke?

Guest:
Richard Woolnough, Fund Manager, Fixed Income

Hosts:
Laura Brown, CMO and Head of Client Experience
Alex Matcham, Head of UK Wholesale Sales
