A group of six Bank of Valletta employees have returned from a two-day training programme at Insight Investment Management (Global) Ltd, JO Hambro Investment Management Ltd and Bank of New York Mellon offices in London.

The participants received first-hand information from the various fund managers that manage Valletta Fund Management Ltd investment solutions.

During their visit, they attended briefing sessions with fund managers and fixed income specialists on the bond market and also held discussions on the outlook for investment grade bonds in Europe.

Opportunities of the high yield bond market, which provides investors with a superior level of income at a higher level of risk, were alsodiscussed. Employees attended an interactive session with market specialists on current economic uncertainties and market volatility and discussed the importance of diversification in an investment portfolio.

The group also met with experts in the Far East market and discussed the opportunities in Asian markets and benefits of a thematic stock-picking approach within a long-term investment horizon.

They were also briefed on the stock selection process and ongoing research, analysis and monitoring by the fund managers and their investment teams.

VFM remains committed to provide such opportunities to financial advisers, keeping them abreast of market developments.
