Our guest on the Tuesday edition of the Morning Mail is Evans and Partners Chief Investment Officer Mike Hawkins.
Mike reiterates his views on the current issues overhanging equity markets – the economic recovery in the United States, sovereign debt in Europe and China’s rate of economic growth. Given that these risks are effectively ever-present, the correction has more to do with the mood-swings of the marginal investor than a material change in the fundamental outlook.
Separately Mike comments on the company characteristics he will be focusing on in his model portfolio – earnings leadership independent of the macro environment – and those companies that our research team believes will deliver in this area.
