Portfolio Manager at BayernInvest Luxembourg
In this episode of Money Talks, Mihaela discusses with Patrick Wascht, portfolio manager at BayernInvest Luxembourg. Tune in to learn what investing looks like from the inside, managing assets on behalf of pension funds and institutional investors. Patrick shares how professionals like him deal with uncertainty, market volatility and political events while keeping a clear focus on long-term objectives. From Brexit to inflation peaks, he explains why successful investing is linked to understanding context and managing emotions.
As an individual investor too, Patrick often mentions the importance of having a plan and resisting the temptation to react to every market headline. The conversation also explores the rise of ETFs, the influence of social media on investment behaviour and the relationship between risk and return. While investing does not require a magic formula, it does require patience, consistency and a long-term perspective.
