Coutts Forum for Entrepreneurs - Guest speaker David Giampaolo

On Tuesday 29 April, Coutts & Co hosted a private dinner for entrepreneurs with David Giampaolo, the 'serial entrepreneur' and chief executive of Pi Capital, a private equity firm, as guest principal.

He was joined by Byron Coombs, Head of Investment Advisory Services, Coutts Group, to look at the current market environment from a business and investment perspective.

Topics covered included the current opportunities with regards to buying risk assets, and which risk assets in particular have the potential to grow fastest as market conditions improve.

There were many questions from the invited guests and much of the resulting debate focused on the need for investors to look to the future, ignoring current newspaper headlines.

The event forms part of Coutts' ongoing commitment to provide platforms for entrepreneurs to network with like-minded individuals and discuss their own business ventures and the challenges and achievements associated with them.
