What kind of investment house will benefit during the current turmoil?
The most likely candidates are companies with a full product range, which are at an advantage in what they can offer. When it comes to the debate about active verses passive investing, it’s a bit like podium politics – you know both sides have to take an entrenched position, partly for appearances, and there is usually a third way.

International Share Dealing is an important component of Investment Banking, and helps gage a deeper understanding of major industries today. As the prospect of a protracted economic slowdown becomes more likely, we may well see the focus turn once more to active management. With the relative outperformance of active to passive, passive investors may find themselves rethinking their exposure to indices and start looking more at active approaches. For example the last bear market offered several hiding places for active managers in defensive stocks and as these same islands of defensive stocks were already going cheaply they did not have much room to head further down. This time around the sheer breadth of the market fall means there are very few hiding places for the long-only manager.
