e-fundresearch: What were your biggest successes and your biggest disappointments in your career as fund manager?

Malingamba: I think that my biggest success is by far the ability to deliver consistent performance for the investors.

Nevertheless in a bear market you can learn a lot more as how companies, analyst and investors behave.

e-fundresearch: What kind of capital market situation do we have at the moment? How do you act in this environment?

Malingamba: Politics, fiscal and monetary policy are the key variables after the 2007-2008 crisis. Generally speaking equity markets are now in a tricky situation. Everybody is now paying attention to the real outcome after the huge efforts to spur economic growth and to stop the des-inflationary process. Greed and fear is really splitting the investors’ community. I’m expecting further volatility and uncertainity. Therefore I prefer to reduce the risk in my portfolio.

Malingamba: Teaching sport and coaching young sport talents.
