Mark is a nice man, but unfortunately if this was the Number 1 presentation of the show, then I am relieved I did not go!
There was not much new in his presentation, and plenty of stuff I have heard before.
He liked to talk about how fab his funds have performed on a percentage basis, and to go on about his success with Hutchinson China, but we all knew about that already.
He likes to promote his REFS publication, which is OK, but most of the data on it is obtainable on the web.
His worst sin and what really turned us away was his negativity to TECH investing. Come on, this is 2015, and Tech is King, it’s the direction we the human race are all heading in, but not Mark apparently.
Oh, dear……………………

All in all, nearly an hour of repeating previous stuff.

He also said that tech companies are too complicated for him to invest in!
Can you believe it! Too complicated.
Why on earth would anybody follow an investment manager that finds certain companies too complicated? This is an admission that his team actually do not have much expertise. An admission that his firm have limitations.
Personally I would prefer to listen to someone who has the resources to be able to study and understand one of the markets most important sectors going forward.
Come on Mark, sharpen up a bit please!!
TW Note - have you checked out the record of the Slater funds?JC

Without doubt, from many whom attended, Mark Slater’s presentation was considered to be exceptional and one of the highlights of the show.
His talk was full of investing common sense and giving valuable synopsis on some of the Slater Funds many successful investments. Witnessing Mark’s outstanding knowledge and analytical skills, its little wonder as to why Slater Investments are ranked as one of the best performing fund managers in the UK, with funds including the MFM Slater Growth and MFM Slater Income.
