A group of eight Bank of Valletta employees has just returned from a two-day training programme at the Insight Investment (Global) Management Ltd offices in London.
During their visit, the BoV employees attended briefing sessions with April La Russe, fixed income product specialist at Insight responsible for the La Valette Sterling Income Fund, La Valette Monthly Income Fund and La Valette Euro Income Fund.
Other briefing sessions were also held with Alex Moss, fund manager of the La Valette High Yield Fund, and Alex Illingworth, director responsible for the International Equity Team as well as the local funds managed by Valletta Fund Management Ltd and Stephen Waddington and Mike Pinggera, who form part of the multi-asset team.
The group also had the opportunity to meet Robert Jones from the European Banks Equity Research Team during a tour of the investment floor, where he touched on the process of trading equities at the best possible prices and in the most efficient and effective way. A visit was also organised to London's Metal Exchange in the heart of the city.
This training programme was made possible thanks to BoV's business partnership with Insight, a subsidiary of Lloyds Banking Group. VFM is a joint venture between BoV, having a 60 per cent shareholding in the company, and Insight, having a 40 per cent equity stake.
