AI – Not really artificial and only arguably intelligence.
Is AI an existential threat to humanity, or a cool way of entertaining ourselves at a party? or both? Read now to see what john Stirling of Walden Capital thinks
Since completing my degree specialising in finance in 1989 I have had the privilege of working within some of the leading international asset management houses, both as a fund manager and global head during extremely volatile investment periods. These firms include Deutsche Asset Management, Aberdeen Asset Management, Brevan Howard, UBS Wealth Management (in Zurich), F&C Asset Management, BMO Global Asset Management and now Columbia Threadneedle Investments.
While Managing Director for UBS Wealth Management I had first-hand experience of best practice at one of the world’s leading private wealth management companies. Now I use this knowledge to act as an independent adviser to Walden Capital’s investment committee.
The last 25 years have not been a smooth ride for financial markets and through experience I have understood that diversification, efficient portfolio construction and a disciplined risk management framework are essential skills for creating and preserving wealth.
In my spare time I vent all my frustrations playing the drums in a rock band.
