MeDirect Bank is organising a free webinar that will focus on a discussion of the implications of the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war on global economies and markets.

The event will be held with Liontrust Asset Management plc, an independent business that specialises in fund management and “takes pride in having a distinct culture and approach to running money.”

Liontrust was launched in 1995 and was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1999, having their head office on the Strand in London.

For this talk, MeDirect will welcome two main speakers, Donald Phillips and Phil Milburn, who are co-Managers of Liontrust’s High Yield Bond and Absolute Return Bond strategies.

Mr Phillips joined Liontrust in February 2018, creating the Liontrust Global Fixed Income team with David Roberts and Mr Milburn, having had experience co-managing the European high-yield strategy at his former role at Baillie Gifford since 2010.

He has more recently been involved in the construction of the portfolio of a United States high-yield fund.

Mr Milburn joined the company from Kames Capital in January 2018, and apart from co-creating the Liontrust Global Fixed Income team, he is also Head of Investment Strategy for the Global Fixed Income team and is co-Manager of the company’s Strategic Bond, Absolute Return Bond and High Yield Bond strategies.

With a career of over 20 years at Kames Capital, Mr Milburn is an experienced professional when it comes to the development of a leading high-yield franchise.
