Tech is back, says Schroders

When it comes to clear and precise presentations about investment strategies, Michael Grant, the global technology head at Schroder Investment Management, is your man. He makes periodic trips back to Hong Kong, where he joined Schroders as an equities portfolio manager in 1990, to talk about investment in tech with both clients and the Fourth Estate. His events offer reliable and articulate insights into what fund managers in America and Britain are thinking about now when it comes to this once-sexy sector now laid so low.

With his buzz cut, slender three-button suit and square-rimmed glasses that are part money and part geek, he looks the part of a Generation X executive in a sleek television ad for a wireless company.
