About the Event

Join us on Tuesday 9th November at 12.30pm to hear from one Anthony Bolton, one of the UK’s most influential and well recognised investors. The event is free of charge, and there will be an opportunity for questions from the audience.

Members of the Guild with have the chance to hear how Anthony has managed to successfully navigate various markets over a 40 year career in the industry and his lessons learned from starting his career with a small merchant bank to joining Fidelity and running one of the largest funds for UK investors for 28 years. 

As a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge, Anthony worked in investment management for over 40 years, most of this time in the City of London.

His first job was with a small merchant bank, Keyser Ullmann, from where he went on to join a South Africa owned investment firm, Schlesingers. In 1979 he joined Fidelity International – part of the Boston based Fidelity Group. He started at the time they were launching their first four funds specifically for UK investors and he ran one of these, the Fidelity Special Situations Fund, for 28 years. During that time it averaged a return of just under 20% pa and became one of the largest funds for UK investors with over ¼ million investors. He also ran two large European funds and two investment trusts. 

In 2010 he moved to Hong Kong for 4 years to run Fidelity China Special Situations PLC. He retired in 2014 but remains a director of Fidelity International and an advisor. He has also written a book about investment called ‘Investing Against the Tide’.

Anthony, who is 71, lives in West Sussex. His hobby is composing music and an opera he wrote, The Life and Death of Alexander Litvinenko, was premiered at Grange Park Opera this summer.
