"You can feel it — or at least, I can. Going out seems more of a chore, except for the exercise regimen that is, everybody seems to be on that train. But having dinner with friends, going for a pint (gluten-free in my case), returning to the office? These concepts feel alien even when you do manage to overcome the threshold of your home and give them a go.

It’s hard to determine how many of these changes are permanent and how many we will be looking back on in another six months’ time as a strange aberration. Yet, as investors, it is our job to think through all these developments and then act on what we believe. We won’t be able to get them all right, but the plan is to anticipate most of them and not to make more than one or two clangers along the way."

In his refreshingly honest and funny style, David explains how his team have adapted their funds for the new future and why he believes change isn’t necessarily bad.
