    ISA Shake-Up: What the Latest Changes Mean for Your Money

    ISAs are back in the spotlight after the government's decision to cut the Cash ISA allowance for under-65s from next year. But that's only part of the story. In this episode of Investing Unlocked Extra, Georgie Frost is joined by Sarah Coles, Head of Personal Finance at AJ Bell, to separate fact from fiction and explain what the latest ISA changes could mean for savers and investors. They discuss: • Why the government is changing Cash ISAs • Whether the reforms will actually encourage more investing • The speculation around taxing cash held within Stocks & Shares ISAs • What happens to transfers between Cash and Stocks & Shares ISAs under the new rules • Why flexibility matters when it comes to saving and investing • Whether higher taxes on savings, dividends and capital gains signal a wider shift in UK wealth taxation Plus, Sarah shares practical tips on choosing the right ISA for your goals and the one group of savers who may want to consider taking action before the new rules come into force. If you're wondering how the ISA landscape is changing — and what it could mean for your financial future — this episode is essential listening.

    Is Property Still a Safe Investment? – with Rob Dix

    For generations, we’ve been told that property is the "default" safe bet. But the world is changing fast. Landlord numbers are falling, and interest rates are staying higher for longer. In this episode of Investing Unlocked, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert sit down with Rob Dix – author, landlord and co-founder of Property Hub – to ask if investing in property is still worth it. And if it is, how do you actually do it well? They interrogate the long-held British belief that "my property is my pension," identifying who property genuinely suits as an asset class – and who should walk away. The conversation also covers what actually makes a "good" investment property in 2026 and exactly what you’ll need to consider before you even think about buying. For anyone who has ever assumed property is "safe as houses”, this episode will make you think again.

    Why Smart People Make Poor Money Decisions – with Vicky Reynal

    British households are sitting on £430 billion in cash that could be invested. So what's stopping us?  The truth is, most people are terrible with money - but it's not for lack of knowledge. It's how we're wired. In this episode of Investing Unlocked, Georgie Frost and Simon Lambert sit down with financial psychotherapist, Vicky Reynal - Times columnist and author of Money on Your Mind - for a rare look at the psychology behind our most common investing mistakes. They get into why intelligent, successful people still make poor money choices, how the beliefs we picked up in childhood shape the way we invest today, and how to rewire those subconscious patterns and take back control of your financial future.

    The End of Dollar Dominance? – with Emma Wall

    From global equities to commodities like oil and gold, the US dollar sits at the centre of the financial system. When it moves, it can have a major impact on investment returns, inflation, and global markets. But the dollar’s dominance is increasingly being questioned. In this episode of Investing Unlocked Extra, Georgie Frost speaks with Emma Wall, Chief Investment Strategist at Hargreaves Lansdown, about what’s happening with the dollar, why central banks are diversifying into gold, and what it all means for UK investors.  They also discuss the government-backed campaign to get more Brits investing, and the rise of people asking AI tools like ChatGPT for financial advice. In this episode, we explore: • Why the US dollar affects almost every investor  • Whether the dollar is losing its global dominance  • Why central banks are buying more gold  • How currency movements affect your investment returns  • The new UK campaign encouraging more people to invest  • The risks of using AI for financial advice  If you're wondering how currency movements impact your portfolio, this episode breaks down the bigger picture.

    Are Finfluencers Helping or Harming Your Finances? – with Gabriel Nussbaum

    Love it or loathe it, social media is now where millions of us go for investing advice. For a generation priced out of property, it's become something more. Social media, for many, is a genuine route to financial education. But unregulated and ungoverned, the lines between education, entertainment and sales are becoming increasingly blurred ... and we're seeing a rise in misinformation, bad actors and outright scams. So in a sea of content, who can we actually trust? In this episode of Investing Unlocked, Georgie Frost and Rick Kelsey talk to personal finance educator and TikTok's “That Money Guy”, Gabriel Nussbaum – a finfluencer with over a million followers and a mission to make financial education free and transparent. Together, they explore how social media is rewriting the rules of wealth, the darker side of finfluencer culture and the red flags every investor needs to watch for.
