Fable 5: Perseverance

Fable 6: Flexibility

The first two series have collectively been watched over four million times on YouTube.

Ten Golden Rules of Equity Investing

Seven Deadly Sins of Multi-Asset Investing

The cartoon animations were adapted from booklets produced by Aberdeen that draw on the experiences of fund managers and look to guide investors away from common mistakes made when first investing in equity, bond or multi-asset funds or markets.

The series may be watched on Aberdeen’s magazine channel, “Thinking aloud”, that explores big picture macro themes, investment insights, and stories the group finds inspiring.

Commenting on the animations, Group Head of Brand Piers Currie said: “This has been a really absorbing project for Aberdeen Asset Management. We hope that we have created an animation that is not only entertaining and engaging but also offers some behavioural steers to investors of all types and ages.”
