Morningstar session: Inside the evidence - How great investors think, behave, and build portfolios

Few people have influenced modern investing as deeply as David Booth. In this keynote-style conversation, David reflects on the ideas that reshaped portfolio construction, and why behaviour, not prediction, remains the greatest determinant of long-term outcomes. Joined by Bridget Hughes, he will discuss how evidence-based principles translate into real adviser value, particularly during periods of uncertainty. This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from a pioneer of systematic investing on what still matters, what advisers often get distracted by, and how to future-proof portfolios by focusing on fundamentals.
