Scottish Mortgage investment specialist Hamish Maxwell explains why a small number of exceptional companies account for a disproportionate share of long-term market returns and why finding them is only part of the challenge.
Maxwell joined Rob Morgan, chief analyst at Charles Stanley Direct, and Annabel Brodie-Smith, communications director at the Association of Investment Companies, for the Investors’ Chronicle FT Live webinar Investing in growth: Strategies for the future on 29 September 2026.
