Mid Caps Under The Spotlight

10 December 2012
In this week’s episode:

The mid-cap sector is where the action is, says Schroder's Andy Brough, the fund manager at the helm of its flagship UK Mid 250 fund. Brough compares the mid-cap section of the market to football's Championship league -- full of striving companies that are potentially growing fast and set on reaching the stock market's Premier League, the FTSE 100 (UKX). Discover why he's happy to wave them goodbye when they do enter the FTSE 100, how he thinks the mid-cap index gives him a far wider universe of companies to invest in, and what all this has to do with Heineken and Bradley Wiggins when he chats with Owain Bennallack.

 

If you're keen to earn great returns with small caps, this free Motley Fool report -- "10 Steps To Making A Million In The Market" -- could help you on your way. The report highlights how choppy markets can still provide the big winners to take you to that magic million. But hurry, the report is available for a limited time only.

About the show

From quick tips on how to tidy up a wayward portfolio to in depth discussions with industry experts, MoneyTalk tackles a different topic every week.

About the presenter

David Kuo is The Motley Fool’s media personality. He can be heard on BBC London’s (94.9FM) Breakfast Show where he arouses listeners every weekday morning with his unique brand of financial news. He is also a regular commentator on national news programmes including CNBC, BBC News, and Sky News.

David stumbled into the world of broadcasting at the turn of the Millennium when he was invited to comment on the stock market crash. He says, “I think I stunned Londoners speechless when I said the good thing about the crash is that shares are now more affordable for people who want to invest in the stock market!”

His attitude to investing has never wavered, as he always sees downturns in the market as a buying opportunity for long-term investors.
