At the moment, the big question on everyone's lips is whether the US expansion and the bull market can continue. We'll be covering this in more depth in a forthcoming cover story. However, one person with strong views on the subject is Rob Hodgson, head of wealth management at GWM Investment Management. GWM is a boutique wealth management firm that advises everyone from individuals, pension funds and even private companies on how to invest their assets to maximise their return. He's also won several industry awards. Hodgson took some time to talk to us about his predictions for the next year, and how investors should play this late-cycle environment.
