Baroness Morrissey is one of Britain’s most successful investors, becoming CEO of Newton Investment Management at the age of 35, and more than doubling its size over 15 years. She was also Wilf’s first CEO – he started his career at Newton.
In this episode, Helena outlines how she’s managed to be so successful, reflecting on why the trade that made her career – buying UK Gilts in the late 90s before Bank Of England independence led to a massive rally - taught her to seize the moment.
As a founder of The 30% Club and Chair of The Diversity Project, she also discusses where the DEI movement lost its way, including its failure to highlight the improved outcomes of diversity of thought. Plus, her career advice, particularly for women: “leap before you look.”
Helena also suggests what the UK government needs to do to bring London back as a leading financial centre, and expresses caution over the current US market, which is in bubble territory.
