Market Review of Quarter Three The summer of 2017 may be remembered as a turning point in this economic cycle. After a decade of pumping money into developed economies, Central Banks look to have put that policy in their rear-view mirror, signalling that interest rate hikes…

As I arrived at the DB Wood office on my first day, I was still in disbelief that I had been successful in the selection process, but ecstatic about spending my summer learning new things and exploring many opportunities with DB Wood. Safe to say the ecstasy abated quickly when Alex…
