The sharp stock market sell-off earlier this year served as a reminder that volatility is par for the course in investing. During such periods, defensive growth businesses are expected to hold up better than those that are more cyclical and sensitive to economic cycles. In this episode, Kyle speaks to James Thomson, lead manager of Rathbone Global Opportunities fund. Part of the fund is devoted to recession-resistant businesses, including companies that are not as closely linked to the economic cycle, and those where demand is more predictable. James explains what he looks for in ‘weather-proof businesses’ and shares stock examples.
