    S8 Ep.4: The quick take on why the October budget may not be that big

    What do we actually know so far about Burnhamnomics? In this Quick Take episode, Jacob, Letty and LCP Partner Anais Caldwell Jones, part of our Macro team, explore what Burnham is going to centre on in the upcoming budget. With some big ideas to tackle inequality and support growth, tight public finances would, however, favour targeted budget measures over sweeping reform. Any market reaction would likely focus on gilts and sterling, reinforcing the case for a long-term investment approach rather than trading political events.

    S8 Ep.3: Alex Edmans - How to exploit the madness of markets?

    In this episode of Investment Uncut, Jacob and Aaron are joined by Alex Edmans. Alex discusses his recent book 'The Madness of Markets' where he explores the madness that can emerge in financial markets, from striking examples of investor behaviour to the potential for mispricing in today’s fast-moving, large language model race, between higher-cost US providers and Chinese competitors. We discuss why even sophisticated professional investors remain vulnerable to behavioural biases, and how investors can seek to recognise others’ irrationality without becoming trapped by their own assumptions. The conversation also examines why identifying a market mistake is rarely the same as successfully exploiting it, why an abundance of information can cloud rather than improve judgement, and where a genuine investment edge may still be found. Finally, we close with one practical, actionable change investors can make to build a more disciplined process and improve their chances of outsmarting the market.

    S8 Ep.2: The Quick Take on why gilts are paying such a big yield

    Why are government bond yields rising, and what does this mean for investors? In this episode of The Quick Take , Jacob, Letty and Matt Gibson (LCP's Head of Research) explore why inflation is only part of the story, unpack the term 'premium' and discuss how changing demand from UK pension schemes could be affecting gilt yields. They also consider the legacy of the 2022 mini-budget, whether yields could fall back and what investors might do differently.

    S8 Ep.1: Timandra Harkness - When did avoiding risk become a virtue?

    We kick off Season 8 of Investment Uncut by speaking to Timandra Harkness - writer, presenter and comedian - and the author of Risk & Responsibility. We discuss Timandra’s recent blog, Dare to Be Free, and explore why risk has become such a defining issue for society, institutions and the pensions industry.  Together, we explore the growing tension between protecting people from harm and giving them the freedom to make decisions in the face of uncertainty. Have we come to treat safety, stability and predictability as moral virtues in their own right - and, if so, what might that cost us? Responsible decision-making cannot mean eliminating risk altogether. So why can investment committees find comfort in following the consensus? And could regulation sometimes encourage excessive defensiveness rather than better long-term outcomes?

    S7 Ep.40: Sam Gray - can you make money in healthcare?

    Healthcare is one of the UK's largest and fastest-evolving sectors, driven by an ageing population, technological innovation and growing demand for care.

In this episode, Letty and Aaron are joined by Sam Gray, Portfolio Manager at Apposite Capital, to explore the investment case for UK healthcare. Together, they discuss how to identify opportunities across the sector, the trends shaping the market, and why healthcare can offer the potential to deliver both attractive long-term returns and better patient outcomes.

From demographics and education to migration, gender equality, and governance, they explore the hidden forces shaping economic growth — and where the world's next investment opportunities may emerge. Why do some countries thrive while others fall behind? And why are demographics only part of the story?

    In this episode of The Quick Take, Aaron, Letty and Jacob discuss the launch of the Space X’s IPO. It just shattered records with the largest IPO in history, and the Investment Uncut podcast is breaking down what it means for your portfolio. In just 20 minutes, Aaron and Letty debate whether SpaceX's astronomical valuation is a generational opportunity or a dangerous Fear of Missing Out trap. They dive into why the Nasdaq fast-tracked the stock while the S&P 500 locked it out, how the unique rolling lock-up schedule will trigger massive price swings, and whether Elon Musk is simply too big to govern while running four mega-companies at once.
