THE GREAT SUPERSELL

AS soul musician Gil Scott-Heron once said, ‘ain’t no such thing as a superman’.

He might not have won any medals in Moscow 1980, but his life’s work has brought him to a $16 billion podium of funds management. He tells Brisbane Business News about plans to boost holdings in emerging economies and the importance of diversification.
