Master Series 1

The art of late-cycle investing

Presented by Livewire Markets & sponsored by IRESS

It's been 9 years since this bull market kicked off in March 2009, making it the second longest bull market of all time. The market tremours of early February have quickly shaken us from complacency, forcing us to ask questions like:

• Is the music about to stop?
• How should I position myself and my clients?
• How can I reduce risk?
• Where are the best opportunities?

Who better to help us answer these questions than four of Australia's most respected and successful investors, at the inaugural Livewire Masters Series in Sydney on 27 March 2018.

Get up "close and personal" with four of Australia's most impressive investors:

• Brett Gillespie, Head of Macro, Ellerston Capital. Brett is one of Australia's most renowned experts in Global Macro Investing. During a 26-year career he's recorded only one year of negative return/benchmark under-performance.
• Hamish Douglass, Lead Portfolio Manager, Magellan. Hamish is a visionary in the funds industry and has been the driving force behind the inexorable rise of Magellan, which was founded in 2006 and now has $58 billion FUM.
• Phil King, Portfolio Manager, Regal Funds Management. Regal Funds Management is one of Australia's oldest and best performing alternative fund managers. Phil, a "Master of the Market", is highly regarded for his stock-picking prowess and market instincts.
• Steven Ng, Portfolio Manager, Ophir Asset Management. Ophir is a high-conviction fund manager with performance to match. The Mercer survey has ranked the Ophir Opportunities Fund as the #1 small-cap fund over 5 years.

The conversations will be moderated by Jonathan Shapiro, Australian Financial Review.
