January 2020: Counting the cost of a pandemic

"Fear makes the wolf bigger than he is," or so the saying goes... In a world of 24-hour news coverage and a commercial imperative to be louder than your competitor it can be hard to hear through the noise when a global event like coronavirus hits. In this month's Rich Pickings we gather three of our investment team from different disciplines to explain how they're approaching the pandemic in terms of their portfolios and broader investment thinking.  Richard Edgar, Editor in Chief, talks to Portfolio Managers Aneta Wynimko and Charlotte Harington, and Director of Equities, Terry Raven. With additional contributions from Wen-Wen Lindroth, Cross Asset Strategist, and Ian Samson, Portfolio Manager.    **If you enjoy Rich Pickings then why not try our sister podcast, Fidelity Answers, where we hear from the experts on a range of topics affecting markets, global economics, and the world of investing.**See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
