Fusion Asset Management Managing Partner and Chief Investment Officer Kirill Ilinski gave an exclusive extended interview to RT as part of their coverage of the eurozone crisis and ongoing global financial stress.

Ilinski said: “Every stage of the financial crisis is on a bigger scale and is considerably more difficult to get out of. Every time you put in more money, the efficiency of putting in money is going down. Money disappears from problematic areas into areas which are not affected. It’s going into emerging markets, increasing labor costs there, increasing inflation, making emerging markets less competitive and less able to pull developed countries from the crisis. So the more money politicians put in the system, they effectively are killing the centers which are supposed to drag the whole economic system out of the crisis.”

“Just Rewards” by Martin Steward.

“Kirill Ilinski, co-founder and CIO of Fusion Asset Management want to see managers go further than sharing downside risk proportionately with their clients.
