    What Red Squirrels Reveal About Britain’s Broken Investing Culture

    Why has the UK become a nation of savers—but not investors—and what on earth do red squirrels have to do with it? Merryn Somerset Webb and John Stepek take aim at a baffling government campaign, unpack the real reasons people avoid investing, and argue that regulation, mistrust, and mixed messaging are costing Britons serious wealth.

    Andy Haldane on Britain’s Fiscal Squeeze and Growth Problem

    Former Bank of England Chief Economist Andy Haldane joins Merryn Somerset Webb to unpack why the UK may feel poorer, more fragile and seemingly out of options—despite sitting on untapped wealth and world-class innovation. From tough fiscal trade-offs and rising taxes to the surprising strength of private balance sheets, he argues the UK’s problems may be serious—but they’re far from unsolvable. The big question: can policymakers unlock growth before patience and confidence runs out? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Markets in a Permanent Mini-Crisis: Why Investors Are Waiting, Not Predicting

    On this week's markets wrap, hosts Merryn Somerset Webb and John Stepek explore how markets are navigating a world of constant geopolitical “mini-crises,” where uncertainty keeps investors reactive rather than predictive. They discuss warning signs from corporate earnings, the fragile but not collapsing UK economy, and the growing disconnect between gloomy sentiment and relatively stable data.

    Your Pension, Your Problem? Inside Nest’s Big Investment Shift

    Merryn Somerset Webb and John Stepek discuss the ongoing push into private markets by Britain's largest workplace pension scheme (by membership), the National Employment Savings Trust. NEST plans to invest roughly £30 billion of its members' cash in private markets by the end of the decade. But what if you don't want your money invested in private assets? The pair discuss what you can do as an individual, and also look at the questions the plan raises about transparency, investor awareness, and whether - and how - savers should have more say in where their money is invested.

    How to Invest Amid an Upended Global Financial Order

    Merryn Somerset Webb speaks with Ruffer fund manager Alexander Chartres about investing in a world marked by receding US dominance and a more inflation-prone, shock-driven global economy. Chartres argues Donald Trump is just an accelerant to changes that have been developing since the end of the Cold War. Traditional market assumptions like reliable hedges and stable globalization are breaking down, requiring more active, diversified investment strategies. Chartres highlights opportunities in commodities, energy, China technology and repurposed industrial capacity, while warning that political volatility and structural change will define markets for years to come.

    Are Markets Just Plain Wrong to Keep 'Looking Through' The Iran War?

    Markets have continued to hit new highs despite escalating geopolitical tensions and a major energy shock, raising questions about whether investors are underestimating long-term risks such as inflation and rising interest rates. The hosts argue that while markets often look through geopolitical events, today’s slow-burning crisis—combined with weak real income growth and fiscal pressures in countries like the UK—may be more consequential than current optimism suggests.

  7. The Contrarian Case for London Real Estate After a Decade of Stagnation

    The Contrarian Case for London Real Estate After a Decade of Stagnation

    It might surprise some listeners, but UK-wide house prices have delivered only negligible returns after inflation over the past decade, note Merryn Somerset Webb and John Stepek, and London prices have actually fallen sharply in real terms. Rising interest rates, taxes, and political uncertainty continue to weigh heavily on the market. Yet guest Daniel Austin, chief executive of ASK Partners, suggests that while high transaction costs and policy risks remain a hurdle, prime central London may still look attractive at current levels to global investors with an eye for a bargain.

    Why You Should Wait Out AI’s Super-Spending False Start

    Merryn Somerset Webb sits down with Janusz Marecki, CEO & Founder of Fractal Brain and AI Partner at Ahren Innovation Capital, for an insider perspective on AI hype vs. reality—and what may come next. The focus is on large language models (LLMs)—and whether they are hitting fundamental limits. Marecki discusses the data ceiling (we’ve used most high-quality internet data), diminishing returns from scaling compute and persistent issues like hallucinations and probabilistic errors.
