Investment Insights July 2019

With the markets starting out strongly in the first quarter of 2019, the second quarter ended with a rocky ride. In our previous edition of the Investment Insights we heard from Philip Houghton-Brown and Leah Keys discussing the driving forces behind strong market recovery in the first quarter of 2019.    

Watch an interview with Robert Kavanagh and Brian Kearney discussing:

• What’s behind the recent volatility in the share market
