Investing Unlocked

David Coombs’ first question about any investment isn’t how much it might make. It’s how it could go wrong.Head of Multi-Asset Investments at Rathbones, David Coombs joins Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert to share what 40 years as a top fund manager has actually taught him about the markets.How does a master of investing manage risk without missing out on returns? And what can ordinary investors learn from the people managing billions? Together, they explore how to build a multi-asset portfolio, why company culture can be an early warning sign most investors miss, and how to spot the difference between a promising investment and a compelling story. David also explains why learning from mistakes shouldn't make you overly cautious, and why having a plan, and sticking to it, is key to long-term success. Please remember: this podcast is for information and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

We’re living longer and having fewer children. But are the effects of longevity an economic threat or a huge investment opportunity?In this episode of Investing Unlocked, Georgie Frost and guest host Maike Currie (PensionBee) are joined by David Sinclair, Chief Executive of the International Longevity Centre, to explore what longer lives and falling birth rates mean for investors.They look at the impact of a shrinking workforce and whether AI and automation can help plug the labour gap, as well as the investment opportunities emerging from the ageing population and the so-called ‘silver economy'. In a world where people are living for longer, can the traditional ‘learn, earn, retire’ model survive? And if longevity becomes one of the biggest investment themes of the coming decades, are investors ready for it?Please remember: this podcast is for information and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.

Trillions of dollars are pouring into artificial intelligence. But is the AI boom outpacing reality?In the Season 2 premiere of Investing Unlocked (sponsored by PensionBee), Georgie Frost and guest host Russ Mould talk to BBC technology broadcaster Spencer Kelly about what the AI boom means for your money.They explore the echoes of the dot-com bubble, how exposed investors really are to a handful of AI and tech giants, and look beyond the obvious names to the ‘picks and shovels’ of the AI revolution: chips, data centres and cooling systems.  Are businesses spending more on AI than they can realistically turn into profits? Or can the trillions being poured into the technology ultimately deliver trillions back?Please remember: this podcast is for information and educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.Capital is at risk.Thank you to our sponsor PensionBee - a leading online pension provider who’s on a mission to build pension confidence so that you can enjoy a happy retirement.
