Next Financial miss-selling crisis? Future of Fund Management. Why most fund managers I talk to do not recommend their own retail actively managed funds. Impact on Future of Banking and Pension Funds. Fund Management Keynote Speaker - POST and VIDEO

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Banks, Banking, Insurance, Fund Management

Video from 2010 but JUST as urgent and relevant today.

Fund management really matters - as vital to society as hospitals and schools because it protects the wealth of us all as pensioners. For many years, I have given keynotes on global investment trends to Fund Managers from across the world.  I have had over $1 trillion of funds under management of a single audience. But here is a shocking fact. A significant proportion of fund managers (usually the great majority) at events I have spoken at over the last few years lack confidence in their own actively managed investment funds.  For example, most tell me (straw polling during presentations) that they do not recommend their own products to friends and family, and do not commit their own wealth into their own funds unless they need to as part of the job. If fund managers do not believe they are adding value, it becomes a serious ethical issue if those retail funds continue to be actively marketed.  Life is too short to sell things you don’t believe in. So what is the future of actively managed funds?...

Why banking will make big profits again - and when. (Archive article from 2009)

What is the future of banking?  Will banking be profitable again?  Every day I am asked this question.

Around 25% of my work over the last decade has been with some of the largest banks in the world, and they, together with global investors, are anxious about the future.

While the amount of capital they require has been increases - so return on capital will be lower than in the past - banking remains fundamental to the global economy and will be a vibrant part of our future.

Credit Crunch and Sub-Prime Crisis - 2008 Video on Future of Banking - turned out to be very perceptive. Future of Banking Keynote Speaker

Futurist Keynote Speaker: Posts, Slides, Videos - Banks, Banking, Insurance, Fund Management

John Bird and John Fortune (the Long Johns) brilliantly describe how bankers and brokers created the sub-prime crisis which led to the global credit crunch. Satirical comedy with important insights.

Irrational markets and strange investment decisions. How markets are driven by emotion rather than logic. Implications for collapse of confidence in banking and government The trouble is that it is easy to make intelligent people seem ridiculous with hindsight - question is what decisions are being made today which will seem as absurd in a few years time. 

Post by Patrick Dixon / video made by BBC- both in 2008 - very perceptive.
