Rise of the zombies

What are zombie firms? How can they affect Australian investors?

We believe it's important that asset allocators understand how zombie firms may unwittingly arise in a portfolio, how they can be recognised and potentially screened.

Join David Walsh in a discussion of the characteristics of zombie firms, the outworkings of a misalllocation of capital and the Australian experience.
