On The Money

Sam Benstead and Richard Hunter discuss the biggest news item in the world of fund investing, including the outlook for company earnings as firms report their second-quarter results, and the alarming rise of private company allocations in some investment trusts, including Scottish Mortgage. They also discuss the bond sector, where a sharp sell-off has led to yields that finally offer investors a respectable income. One casualty of falling bond prices has been the 60/40 portfolio, but the outlook for a mixed-asset strategy is now brighter, Sam and Richard argue. Later in the podcast, Sam chats to Chris Korpan, who runs the JP Morgan Natural Resources fund. Investing in mining and oil stocks, it has had a great 2022 so far. However, its outlook is uncertain given falling commodity prices as investors weigh up the impact of a recession on raw material demand.

Kyle Caldwell and Sam Benstead explain why professional investors are extremely bearish at the moment, and point out that the world’s largest fund manager is not ‘buying the dip’.

Later in the podcast, Sam chats to Barry Norris, who runs the Argonaut Absolute Return fund, which is a strategy that aims to make money in both rising and falling markets.

In the final episode of series two, Gabby meets adventurer and author Alastair Humphreys. A National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, Alastair’s many outdoor escapades include cycling round the world, rowing the Atlantic and walking across India, but he has also won acclaim for his pioneering work on the concept of cheaper, simpler, closer-to-home microadventures. He spends his time encouraging people to live more adventurously… but is his enterprising and often daring spirit reflected in his approach to money matters? It has certainly helped being married to an accountant, with whom he has two children. Among stories from his many adventures, he tells Gabby how he has become a self-confessed money geek after years of ignoring his finances, how he funded a four-year trip around the world with just £7,000, and how he managed to get a pizza delivered in the middle of Alaska.

Dame Jayne-Anne Gadhia is widely regarded as one of Britain’s most successful bankers but, as she tells Gabby, didn’t always plan a career in finance. Jayne-Anne helped Sir Richard Branson set up Virgin Money and as CEO steered the company through takeovers, a stock market float and eventual sale. She currently chairs the HMRC Board and, in 2020, launched Snoop, a money management app designed to help people become savvier with their spending and saving. Until last year, she was the Government’s Women in Finance Champion and was made a Dame in the 2019 Honours list. She met husband Ashok during freshers’ week at university and the couple have a daughter together. Jayne-Anne reveals why her mum took charge of the family finances growing up, what life is like working for Sir Richard and why she’s always tried to make a positive difference when making big decisions at work.

Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham is Gabby’s guest on the pod this week. Andy became the Member of Parliament for Leigh in 2001 and served as both Culture Secretary and Health Secretary under Gordon Brown. Previously, he was Chief Secretary to the Treasury during one of the most turbulent times for the world’s financial markets. In 2017 he left Westminster to successfully run for the new role of mayor of Greater Manchester, and was re-elected for a second term last year. Described unofficially by some as the ‘King of the North’, the married dad-of-three has been a vocal advocate for the north of England, holding the government to account over its levelling-up agenda in particular. He tells Gabby why financial education should form part of a “curriculum for life” in schools, how Labour’s defeat in the 1992 General Election motivated him to pursue a career in politics, and why his children go to their mum for money advice rather than him.

Sarah Willingham originally planned a career in finance before making her fortune in food. Growing up in Stoke, the entrepreneur and former Dragon on the BBC's Dragons’ Den started her first paper round at the age of 11, then took her first steps in the restaurant trade aged just 13. From there she went on to work for Pizza Express and Planet Hollywood, and then turned Indian restaurant chain Bombay Bicycle Club into a multi-million-pound business. She also, along with her husband, built and then floated the nutraceutical company NutraHealth on the London Stock Exchange. After starting a family, she then totally changed the way she worked, pulling back from managing her businesses day-to-day so she could achieve a better work-life balance and spend more time with her four children. Sarah tells Gabby about who gave her confidence early in her career, how she vowed to take a break from media commitments just hours before being offered a role on Dragons’ Den, and why she and her husband let their children control the daily budget on their family gap year.

Series 2 kicks off with Gabby Logan speaking to author, political strategist and podcaster Alastair Campbell. Having started out as a journalist, Alastair is best known for his six-year stint as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s director of communications, previously serving as his press secretary while in Opposition. Despite returning briefly as an adviser to Gordon Brown and Ed Miliband, Alastair left frontline politics behind in 2003 to focus on his partner Fiona and their three children, alongside writing and raising awareness about mental health issues, drawing on his own personal experiences to help others. Among insight from his political career, he tells Gabby about his lifelong fear of financial insecurity, how he made a fortune busking round Europe, and the reason Fiona takes the money reins at home – and why he thinks Gordon Brown’s wife does the same.

In the latest episode, Kyle Caldwell and Sam Benstead run through key takeaways for fund and trust investors from the first quarter of 2022. Among the subjects discussed is why over that time period similarly managed funds held up better than trusts. Separately, on the back of bond markets flashing a warning that a recession could be on the cards, the duo name the types of investments that would, in theory, perform well during an economic downturn. Later in the podcast, Jeff Atherton, who manages the Man GLG Japan CoreAlpha fund, joins the show. The fund adopts a value-style investment approach and has therefore benefited from the recent market rotation.
