Fund Manager Notes
At Money Wise UK, we believe in independent thinking and informed decision-making. During my time at LWM Consultants, I thoroughly enjoyed writing fund manager notes, offering insights from direct meetings and conversations with fund managers. Continuing this practice under my consultancy work, I’m pleased to share some selected meeting notes here.
These notes capture key points, observations, and impressions gathered during meetings with fund managers. They are intended to offer readers — whether financial advisers or individual investors — a window into current market thinking, fund strategies, and manager philosophies.

If you are considering any investment, you must conduct your own research or seek advice from a regulated financial adviser. Money Wise UK accepts no liability for any investment decisions made based on these notes.
We hope you find these insights useful as part of your broader research and learning
When bringing fund managers to Bristol, you can always be relied upon for thoughtful, well-prepared and engaging meetings, which I hugely appreciate....
