Episode 122
Friday, 16 October, 2026

In this episode of Investments Unplugged, host Kevin Headland is joined by two members of Manulife’s Boston-based Capital Appreciation Team: Michael Scanlon, Lead Portfolio Manager, Manulife U.S. Opportunities Fund; and Leigh Pressman, Senior Investment Analyst, focused primarily on technology and “tech-like” companies. The conversation centers on why they view today’s market environment as being particularly ripe for skilled stock selection, including their positioning of high-active-share portfolios and their approach to the AI-driven investment cycle. Take a listen for timely, actionable insights that you may be able to apply to client portfolios before year-end.
