In this short Q&A video, our Head of Investment Analysis, Danni Hewson, meets James Flintoft, our Head of Investment Solutions, to talk through the key market movements that shaped the last quarter – including the impact of conflict in Iran, and what this meant for performance across our AJ Bell Funds and MPS portfolios.
Watch this if you want to:
- understand what drove performance across portfolios during Q1;
- make sense of how recent geopolitical events affected different markets and asset classes; and
- add clear, practical context to client conversations about market conditions.
You can explore more valuable insights in our quarterly market recap, or download the latest AJ Bell Funds and MPS performance reports via The Investment Asset.
The value of investments can go down as well as up, and your client may not get back their original investment.
Past performance is not a guide to future performance, and some investments need to be held for the long term.
