An engineer's view of the stock market

Portfolio manager Alan Wilson trained at MIT to be a civil engineer. Turns out, those skills transfer nicely to the stock market — building strong portfolios instead of towering skyscrapers. In this podcast, Wilson discusses his outlook for U.S. equities and his thoughts on investing in an aging bull market.

Alan Wilson is an equity portfolio manager with 34 years of investment experience, 28 with Capital Group. Earlier in his career, he covered U.S. construction and energy companies, among other sectors. He holds an MBA from Harvard and a bachelor's in civil engineering from MIT.

Your host Matt Miller is a political economist at Capital Group. An author and former Washington Post columnist, Matt was co-host of the public radio program Left, Right & Center.
