    How to defeat the gender wealth gap

    Women, on average, earn less than men, have less saved in a pension and have to take more time off from work to care for others. But while society is rigged to burden women with heavier loads, Gina Miller has made it her mission to change this and close the gender wealth gap.  Gina is an activist, entrepreneur and the founder of MoneyShe, an investment platform focused on women’s finances. Gina, who became widely known for her anti-Brexit campaign and has spent decades working in the City, sits down with funds editor Val Cipriani to discuss the barriers blocking women from investing, the inherent misogyny in finance and practical steps to build a portfolio.

    The AI jobs crunch, medical stocks and AstraZeneca: Companies and Markets Show

    M&A activity remains rampant, and this week we start with a tie-up that would rank among the biggest deals of all time: AstraZeneca and US rival Bristol Myers Squibb. Julian Hofmann discusses the merits of the mooted $400bn deal, the drawbacks and why investors’ response to the rumour has been bleak.  We then turn to what could be the greatest disrupter humans have seen for decades: the rise of AI and what it means for the jobs market. As speculation runs rampant as to how many roles could be lost, Hugh Moorhead is in the studio to curb some of those concerns. Hugh explains what’s actually going on, which companies might stand to benefit, which might not, and how investors should respond. Finally, Mark Robinson puts medical device maker Smith & Nephew under the microscope after its half-year figures suggest its long-awaited rebound hasn’t quite arrived. But with an activist lurking on the shareholder register, could better times be on the way? Timestamps00:00 Introduction 1:20 AstraZeneca 15:43 AI's impact on the jobs market and what this means for investors 30:23 Smith & Nephew Listen to more podcasts from Investors’ Chronicle on Apple, Spotify and YouTube Investors' Chronicle has supported private investors in the UK for over 160 years by highlighting rewarding investment opportunities.
