Description

Downing’s Simon Evan-Cook tells the latest edition of the Asset Allocator podcast that he has just 30 per cent of the capital he manages in US funds, and reveals the reasons why. 


That is less than half the weighting of the US market in the global benchmark, and he admits it leaves many "aghast".


He also reveals the role cash and bonds play in his portfolios at a time of heightened market stress.
