Personal Finance Show: UK equity income and retirement issues

The team are joined by Merchants Trust manager Simon Gergel to talk about the economy and equity income
October 5, 2018

The Office for National Statistics is going to release its GDP growth figures next week with expectation of positivity amid the uncertainty surrounding Brexit and the country's future trading relations.

To discuss this in this week's Personal Finance Show, the team is joined by Merchants Trust (MRCH) manager Simon Gergel, who also reflects on how recent outflows from the UK market have left value opportunities in income major stocks.

Emma Agyemang provides an update on changes at Fidelity, following the announcement that Ian Spreadbury, Strategic Bond (GB00B469J896) and MoneyBuilder Income (GB00B3Z9PT62) fund manager, is going to retire at the end of the year.

This is also a segway into a chat about retirement and the big mistakes people always make and how to avoid them.
