Welcome to The Two Johns, the investment trust podcastbrought to you by the website www.johnbaronportfolios.co.uk. Each month, John Baron joins former Investors' Chronicle editor John Hughman to discuss the big themes dominating the investment landscape and the important issues affecting the sector, while explaining how these are influencing the way the website's ten live investment trust portfolios are being managed.
In this episode 13, the two Johns discuss the portfolios' large contrarian bet on the healthcare sector, and how the triple tailwinds of ageing populations, accelerated innovation, and greater political clarity have been overlooked by the market. They also dissect the recent Autumn budget to assess its implication for investors, and where the opportunities may lie as economic growth continues to evade the Chancellor.
