A Different Perspective is a Zeus podcast, hosted by Nick Searle, Head of Equity Capital Markets. In the different perspective podcast we speak to interesting characters within finance and business to understand more about their personal journey and ambitions. This is co-mingled with a discussion about their business. It’s more about the formation of the individual than the business per se; thus trying to gain that different perspective.

    A Different Perspective: Chris McVey on the Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity in UK Small & Mid-Cap Stocks

    This week Nick talks to Chris McVey. Chris McVey is Deputy Head of Octopus Quoted Companies at Octopus Investments, where he has worked since 2016 and is lead manager of the Octopus UK Multi Cap Income Fund. He has more than 20 years of experience in the UK quoted smaller companies market. Prior to joining Octopus, Chris was a UK small- and mid-cap equity research analyst at Citigroup, and before that spent seven years at Gartmore as an investment manager and analyst, building extensive expertise in UK smaller company investing. Nick and Chris discuss the significant opportunity in the UK small and mid-cap market, where valuations remain near historic lows despite strong underlying company fundamentals. Chris argues that quality growth businesses, particularly on AIM, are trading at substantial discounts to their intrinsic value due to a lack of investor flows rather than operational weakness. He believes the sector is poised for a re-rating as sentiment improves, creating an attractive entry point for long-term investors.

    A Different Perspective with Alistair Smallwood - How AI is Transforming Equity Research Workflows

    This week Nick talks to Alistair Smallwood Alistair Smallwood is the Head of Applied AI at Primer AI, where he focuses on building practical artificial intelligence tools for investment workflows. He began his career as a research analyst at Whitman Howard shortly after the Brexit vote, before moving into equity sales roles and later joining UBS as a pan-European small- and mid-cap specialist salesperson. He subsequently transitioned to the buy side with Lynott Partners, a technology-focused hedge fund, where he combined his financial expertise with self-taught coding skills to explore data-driven investing. The discussion centres on how Primer AI is transforming equity research through AI-driven agents that replicate and augment the workflow of human analysts. While AI can commoditize access to information, the true edge in investing lies in workflow, judgment, and behavioural insight—areas where human expertise remains critical. Primer AI is designed not just to retrieve accurate financial data, but to guide analysts through modular research processes, from understanding company fundamentals to building and interpreting financial models. The platform emphasizes auditability, context retention, and continuous learning, enabling users to encode their own analytical frameworks and improve efficiency over time. The conversation also explores broader implications for financial markets, suggesting that AI may compress short-term alpha opportunities while increasing the importance of long-term thinking and differentiated judgment.

    A Different Perspective - Grocer to Global Law Firm: Sir Nigel Knowles on Building DLA Piper

    This week Nick talks to Sir Nigel Knowles Sir Nigel has been Chairman of Zeus Capital since 2014. As Managing Partner of DLA Piper from 1996 to 2016, he oversaw the firm's expansion from a UK regional practice into the world's largest global business law firm. He is currently CEO of DWF, the publicly listed international law firm. Sir Nigel has also served as High Sheriff of Greater London, chairs the Sheffield City Region LEP, and is a Council Member of The Prince's Trust.  Nick and Nigel discuss Sir Nigel's path from a working-class upbringing in Stocksbridge, Sheffield, to building DLA Piper into the world's largest law firm. Sir Nigel reflects on the formative influence of working in his father and uncle's grocery shops, which instilled in him a practical understanding of profit and commerce, and credits an inspirational law lecturer, Arthur Goodwin, with steering him towards a legal career. From there, he traces his progression from article clerk at Broom Heads and Neals in 1978 through a series of mergers and expansions that eventually gave rise to DLA Piper as one of the largest law firms in the world.

    A Different Perspective with Organisational Psychologist, Christen Gilchrist

    This week Nick talks to Christen Gilchrist Christen is an organisational psychologist who applies psychological principles to the workplace, helping businesses improve how their people, teams and structures function. Drawing on behavioural science and systems thinking, she works across leadership, change, performance and culture, diagnosing what isn't working and designing more effective ways of working. Nick and Christen discuss her journey from social care and NHS bed management to founding Core Potential Solutions, an organisational psychology consultancy. Her early experience navigating dysfunctional systems in the NHS gave her a clear lens on how broken processes impact both people and performance — and a drive to help organisations do better. The conversation also covers the realities of building a consultancy business, including the challenge of marketing sensitive, high-level work where clients rarely allow their engagements to be made public.
