    Is the AI Investment Boom Outpacing Reality? (with Spencer Kelly)

    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?

    What Does It Take to Be A Successful Investor? (with Anna Brading)

    What separates a successful investor from everyone else – and why do so many of us feel like we're getting it wrong? In the season finale of Investing Unlocked, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert  are joined by financial educator and author of Money Mentor, Anna Brading, to explore the notion of money dysmorphia – the disconnect between your actual financial situation and how you perceive it Together, they examine what's really holding investors back from success – from persistent gender gaps and generational pressures to the impact of recent changes to ISAs and pensions - and why, when it comes to investing, confidence often matters more than knowledge. This season concludes with Georgie and Simon revealing how they would choose to invest an unexpected £1,000. But don't worry, you won't have to wait long. Season 2 is already in the works...

    AI Is Changing the World. But Is It a Bad Investment?

    AI is transforming the world – but does that automatically make it a good investment? In this episode of Investing Unlocked Extra, Georgie Frost is joined by Andrew Oxlade, Director at Fidelity Personal Investing, to unpack one of the biggest questions facing investors today. Are AI stocks genuinely worth their eye-watering valuations, or are we seeing echoes of the dot-com bubble? And if you're invested in a pension, ISA or global tracker fund, how much AI exposure do you already have without realising it? Together, they explore whether Nvidia, SpaceX and the Magnificent Seven have become too dominant, how to assess AI valuations, why passive investing may be increasing concentration risk and whether now is the time to rebalance your portfolio. They also discuss active versus passive investing, diversification, FOMO, market psychology and the practical steps investors can take to manage risk while staying invested. Whether you're excited by AI or worried you've become overexposed, this episode will help you understand the opportunities, the risks and what they could mean for your portfolio.

    How to Build a Solid ETF Portfolio (with Steve Palmer)

    How do you build a solid ETF portfolio when there are currently over 10,000 Exchange-Traded Funds to choose from? ETFs are often sold as the ultimate low-cost, hassle-free way to invest. But with a market that’s more volatile than ever, knowing how to choose the best ETFs is much harder than it used to be. In this episode of Investing Unlocked, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert are joined by Steve Palmer, Head of ETF Solutions at Royal London Asset Management, to break down everything you need to know about ETF investing. From their surprising origins following the 1987 Black Monday crash to their rise as the ultimate tool for modern portfolio diversification, Steve explains how ETFs really work, the hidden risks that rarely make the headlines and how to navigate an overwhelming explosion of choice.

    Investment trusts: Discounts, SpaceX and a battle for control

    Investment trusts have been around for more than 150 years – but plenty of investors still aren't quite sure what they are, how they work or why they might want one in their portfolio. In this Investing Unlocked Extra, Georgie Frost is joined by Annabel Brodie-Smith from the Association of Investment Companies to get under the bonnet of one of investing’s oldest – and perhaps most misunderstood – structures. How can you buy £1 worth of assets for 90p? Why can investment trusts borrow money to invest? And how have trusts opened the door to everything from infrastructure and private companies to SpaceX and Anthropic? Plus, we look at the battle with activist investors that has shaken up the industry, why ordinary shareholders have more power than they might realise, and what you should look for before investing in a trust yourself.

    Bonds: The Missing Piece In Your Investment Portfolio (with Professor Moorad Choudhry)

    Bonds are powerful financial instruments that dictate mortgage rates and can bring down governments in a matter of days. Liz Truss learnt this the hard way in 2022. Yet, most retail investors still don't own them – or even fully understand what they do.  In a world obsessed with fast growth, is ignoring the bond market a costly oversight for retail investors? In this episode of Investing Unlocked, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert sit down with Professor Moorad Choudhry – fixed income expert and former JP Morgan banker – to demystify one of investing's most misunderstood asset classes. They break down exactly what a bond is, how gilt yields secretly affect your mortgage rate, and the key differences between buying bonds directly versus using a fund. Moving past the textbook definitions, this episode confronts the real rates, risks, and returns of the bond market today – and why every investor needs a strategy for them.

    Capital Gains Tax: What Investors Need to Know

    Capital Gains Tax is back in the spotlight, with growing speculation over whether the new Prime Minister could overhaul the system. But what exactly is CGT and what would any changes actually mean for investors? In this episode, Georgie Frost is joined by Jason Hollands, Managing Director at Evelyn Partners, to unpack how Capital Gains Tax works, why it's taxed differently from income, and what proposed changes could mean for investors, business owners and the wider economy. They discuss whether higher CGT would make the tax system fairer, why inflation matters more than many people realise, how previous tax changes have altered investor behaviour, and why HMRC's own modelling suggests raising rates doesn't necessarily mean raising more money. Plus, practical ways investors can think about managing Capital Gains Tax without making hasty decisions based on political speculation.
