Morningstar Uk: Podcasts

Welcome to the podcast from Morningstar UK, the leading provider of independent investment research. This week we take a look at how the economy is fairing in 2017 and ask why you should care about environment, social and governance concerns when investing. Lets dive straight in to our interview with our first guest. Emma Wall, Senior Editor for Morningstar.co.uk speaks with Keith Wade, Chief Economist for Schroders, about the outlook for global economic growth and what threatens expansion. With construction data looking weak, and UK GDP forecasts downgraded, should you be worried about the impact of slow growth on your portfolio? To discuss we have up next Tim Graf, Head of Macro Strategy, EMEA for State Street. Economic growth may be downgraded and UK politics may be in turmoil but Britain's chief executives remain positive explains Phil Harris, Manager of the EdenTree UK Equity Growth Fund up next. The further markets climb the fewer gains there are to be had. Morningstar Investment Management's Mike
