They specialise in multi-asset investing, bringing institutional investing techniques to ordinary people like you and me. 7IM put their name to my show and to my site because they believe in what I’m doing, trying to get decent, easy-to-understand financial information out to the world. I’m very grateful to them for their support.

In this session you will discover:

• What all the shenanigans in Greece are really all about
• Whether Justin thinks Greece will exit the Euro and what that might mean for UK investors
• What the General Election result back in May is likely to mean for the British economy
• What's going on in China
• What the US slowdown might mean
• Justin's view on interest rates

As ever Justin, does a sterling job talking us through the important issues, including Greece and China. You can catch much more of Justin on the 7IM website, and in particular, their 7IM TV page is good for checking out their views on the world economy and what it all means for investors. My thanks to Justin once again for coming on the show.
