Gen X’s 'dirty fantasy': the four-day work week

What inflation (and interest rates) will do this year
At one point in 2025, it looked like inflation had been beaten.

K-pop: the hit factory investors want in on
Thanks to a record-breaking Netflix film, K-pop has had a breakout year, and it’s creating some unusual investing opportunities. Michael Thompson speaks with Stefan von Imhof, co-founder of alternative investing community fund Alts.co, about how K-pop is manufactured for global success - from government-backed cultural strategy to “idol incubators” that scout and train teenagers for years.

Hollywood investing: it's not all red carpets and blockbusters
Film investing sounds glamorous, but it can be brutally risky.

Inside the remarkable world of high-frequency trading
High-frequency trading and arbitrage sound mysterious, and largely inaccessible. Sean Aylmer talks to Roger Montgomery from Montgomery Investment Management about how high-frequency trading really works, why legendary investor Jim Simons built one of history’s greatest fortunes this way, and why most investors can't access these strategies.

The tequila boom moves from bottles to beds
Tequila may not be your first thought as an investment. But the market is not just real, it's now expanding beyond the spirit itself. Michael Thompson is joined by Stefan von Imhof, co-founder of Alts.co, to explore why tequila can have a faster “appreciation cycle” than wine or whisky, and why premiumisation is lifting demand for higher-quality agave products.
