In this month's Rich Pickings Richard Edgar talks to Fidelity International's Head of Global Macro and Strategic Asset Allocation Salman Ahmed together with portfolio managers Charlotte Harington and Tim Foster. With additional contributions from Global Chief Investment Officer Andrew McCaffery. You can listen to the full interview with Andrew here.
