In this episode, the News centres around the normally dull subject of government bond yields. These have spiked over the past month, and this has hit the headlines, leading to fears over a market meltdown. We look at what this means for investors and whether it has had any impact on markets. 

Our review is Alliance Witan, one of the country’s largest investment trusts and an example of a multi-manager fund. We take a run-through of the approach, include what mandate the three-strong investment committee give to their underlying managers and what advantages this type of fund offers investors.

Finally, our interview this episode is with Xander Beaton, who specialises in war, kidnap and ransom insurance. We discuss whether insuring against Somali pirates has taught him anything about risk, how he balances savings against a Liz Truss mortgage and what long shots he is taking in his portfolio.

This podcast was recorded on 02/09/2026 (News & Reviews) and 11/08/2026 (Interviews).

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results
