In his mid fifties and known as one of Britain's most acquisitive fund management entrepreneurs, life looks sweet for Martin Gilbert. He's the Chief Executive of Aberdeen Asset Management PLC, a global investment group with offices around the world. But these are "interesting times" with unprecedented financial challenges on a global scale; bankers and fund managers have been vilified in the wake of the 2008 banking crisis and the current downturn, so what keeps someone like Martin Gilbert in the game? Clare English speaks to Martin about how he keeps motivated after reaching the multi million pound mark or even worse, when he's just lost several millions in investments.
