Adviser view
Kevin Morgan, managing director of Hertfordshire-based Consilium Financial Planning, said: “In the last three or four years there has been a tendency to ignore global markets for fixed income and to look closer to home, but the industry is starting to take more of a holistic approach, so this is timely.”
