The debate of where we sit in the growth vs value cycle and the cyclical vs defensive cycle is often a hotly contested one.

This week Joseph Wilkins and David Thorpe are joined by Ryan Paterson, portfolio manager at Schroder Investment Solutions, to discuss where he thinks we currently sit in these cycles and what action he's taking in response.

They also discuss some recent changes he has made to his portfolios and demand for ESG.
