This week David Thorpe, investment editor at FTAdviser, and Dave Baxter, funds editor on the Investors' Chronicle, have a chat about the trials and tribulations of the absolute return sector, including Abrdn's recent decision to launch a strategic review into the Gars fund.

They then move onto Abrdn's announcement this week to sell its DFM business to LGT and why they found it a bit of a perplexing move.
