Robin Wigglesworth
The Navigator
Judgement in the fog, money, risk and the call others cannot make.
Robin Wigglesworth earns The Navigator through evidence-led movement across complex financial terrain. The Financial Times Global Finance correspondent and author of Trillions traced passive investing to its origins in order to chart its trajectory, revised his ETF skepticism as new data emerged, and frames his editorial focus around anticipating where markets are heading rather than where they have been. He reads the currents thoroughly before committing to any course.
“I do believe that we understand better where we're going if we understand where we came from. And the history of the invention of passive investing was just far more interesting than I'd hoped.”
“I've moved from a cautious skeptic to a cautious optimist on credit ETFs — I think that was one of my big takeaways that this is actually a more resilient, supple product than people sometimes give it credit for.”
“Whether the world's investor is going to be using more technology to invest more systematically in the future or less — the direction of travel is just clear. I'm trying to go where the puck is heading.”
