Description

Our latest Alternative Thinking podcast is now live!

In the final episode of this series, guests Simon French and Kallum Pickering explore a growing sense of optimism around the UK’s capital markets and the opportunities that could lie ahead.

They unpack key issues including the significant flow of UK pension funds into overseas markets, particularly the US, and how this trend may be undermining domestic growth potential. Years of underperformance have triggered a damaging cycle of outflows and low returns, but the conversation points to a path forward: revitalising UK public markets to improve productivity, restore effective price discovery, and attract fresh investment. The discussion also highlights the broader societal impact of low domestic share ownership, and makes the case for bold, coordinated policy reform that reconnects capital markets with the real economy and re-engages the public in the UK’s financial future.

Listen now to hear why the tide may be turning for UK markets.

Don't Invest unless you are prepared to lose all your money. These are high risk investments and you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong.
