George Cooper is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer at Equitile Investments a small boutique investment company which runs the Equitile Resilience Fund, a Global Equity Fund. He came to the Investor Summit to host a panel, the basic thrust of which is that inflation is back and here to stay. Having worked at some of the world’s most powerful investment banks, Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and JP Morgan, George has always felt the institutional approach lacked something, and he particularly disliked tracking indices, and so he set up his own investment house. As George told us: “We say to our clients that we try to generate 9% or more a year from our equity investments, we’ve been running for 10 years, and in that 10 years we have managed to achieve an average of 12% a year, beating inflation.”
