"It's not clear how our economic and political situation will unfold so you have to bear more things in mind today," the 67-year-old PM said. “We need to do a better job of integrating our world view than we have in the past." It's been a year since Akre left FBR Funds and put up his own Akre Focus Fund [see profile] . He moved on after he was asked to take in a cut in fees, Akre said.
