    The Key Trends Shaping the Future of Asset Management - With Samantha Ricciardi, CEO of Santander Asset Management

    Santander Asset Management manages almost $230 billion*, employs over 850 people and operates in 10 countries. In this interview we’re pleased to feature Samantha Ricciardi, who has been CEO of the company since February 2022.  Samantha begins by putting into context the perspectives she acquired after working at BlackRock and Schroders, before covering Santander’s investment philosophy, key strengths, and priorities for 2024/25. She discusses the investment flows into and out of Latin America, the forces of digitisation, passive’s growth, and how they are judiciously building a private markets capability. She then explains more about investment interest in local LATAM debt & Middle Eastern inflows to the region, and why - as a significant player in the UK market - the investment opportunities here remain compelling.

  2. Kintbury Capital's Long/Short European Equity Strategy - With Chris Dale

    Kintbury Capital's Long/Short European Equity Strategy - With Chris Dale

    There is a growing recognition that the term “hedge funds”, rather than being an asset class, instead represents a range of approaches to access very different investment opportunities.  Here at the Money Maze Podcast, we think that a better way of viewing them is through the lens of how a proven manager or style can help deliver a different, and less correlated, set of returns. In this Money Maze Curated edition, we welcome Chris Dale, a seasoned investor in this space with an impressive long-term track record. He explains Kintbury’s approach, which offers an exposure to a universe of listed UK and European companies without having the market risk or beta. Chris explains how they identify short and long opportunities, including why they shorted Wirecard, why they have been long Novo Nordisk for many years and the egregious price inflation in luxury goods. He then explains their warning flags on the short side, and how sustained cash generation sits high on their list of priorities for their long investments.

    Litigation Finance - A Growing Asset Class Which Offers Genuine Diversification Benefits

    Litigation finance is a small but growing industry, proving to be an attractive opportunity for investors looking for a new uncorrelated alternative asset class. Over the past five years, the UK litigation finance market has doubled (up from £1 billion in 2017). Given this growth, it’s not surprising that private equity and venture capital investors are increasingly interested in the space. To understand more, we were pleased to be joined by Robert Rothkopf, Managing Partner of Balance Legal Capital. He set up the firm in mid-2015 and is supported by litigation titans like Lord David Gold and Ian Terry. The firm is pioneering the development of the industry in the UK and internationally, being ranked by Chambers and Partners 2021 in both the UK and APAC regions. Balance Legal Capital is also listed in this year’s Legal 500 as a key player in UK litigation funding. It is also a proud member and supporter of the Association of Litigation Funders (ALF). The ALF is an independent body that has been charged by the Ministry of Justice with delivering self regulation of litigation funding in England and Wales. Please enjoy and listen to our insightful discussion above to learn more about this fascinating sector, and discover where opportunities may lie.

  4. The Immense Opportunities in Strategic Metals – With Brian Menell, Chairman & CEO of TechMet

    06/11/2023

    The Immense Opportunities in Strategic Metals – With Brian Menell, Chairman & CEO of TechMet

    In 2017 Brian founded and continues to serve as Chairman and CEO of TechMet, a permanent capital vehicle investing in a portfolio of technology metal projects. TechMet acquires and manages projects that produce, process and recycle the key strategic technology metals that go into batteries, electric vehicles and renewable energy systems; cobalt, lithium, nickel, tin, tungsten, rare earth metals and vanadium. He explains how the world is undergoing a seismic transformation in how it produces and uses energy. A part of this is a mobility revolution with the mass adoption of electric vehicles. These radical shifts represent ‘once-in-a-century’ investment opportunities and will re-shape not just whole industries, but also the geopolitical landscape. The West has been late to recognize the significant advancements made by the Chinese in this area over the last 20 years, and it now needs to play a tough game of catch-up. A key to success will be the ability to secure the supply of its building blocks – the technology metals.
