In this month's Rich Pickings our investment team gets under the skin of markets for a robust diagnosis of the global economy: are investors overestimating corporate profitability? We put the notion of 'Japanification' to the test, and hear why gold and department stores are weighing on the minds of portfolio managers. Plus a look at how Fidelity's House view has shifted over the summer break.

Richard Edgar, Editor in Chief, talks to Lead Cross-Asset Strategist, Wen-Wen Lindroth, and Portfolio Managers Bill McQuaker and Jeremy Podger. With additional contributions from Assistant Portfolio Manager Ian Samson and Co-Portfolio Manager Marton Huebler.
