  • Markets Fall, I Hate It Too, But It's Always Temporarily!
    Apr 7 2025
    In this week's podcast I talk about what's on a lot of people's minds - the markets. As many expected, the media ran amock with the 'Liberation Day' announcements, and the resultant panicked actions of some investors led to the markets falling (as they do, a lot, temporarily!). Last Friday it seemed that every post I saw on Linkedin was by an advisor saying something to the effect of 'Don't worry your little head about the markets - we'll be fine'. As advisors, our intent in saying such things is generally always positive, however we don't generally always get that across effectively! Most investors are well-educated and know what is going on in the world, so rather than talk down, perhaps we should express more empathy and less condescension?? Maybe something to the effect of, 'This is bloody terrible' or 'I'm an advisor and I hate market declines'!? Disclaimer

  • Why Indexing Still Wins for Long-Term Investors and Pension Holders
    Mar 24 2025

    Back in 2020, I wrote a piece outlining the uncomfortable truth that active fund managers find it hard to wrestle with....that most of them consistently fail to outperform 'the market'.

    Fast forward to 2025, and guess what? Nothing appears to have changed.

    In this podcast, I'll share the following:

    • Why low-cost index funds continue to outperform the majority of actively managed funds
    • The latest 2024 hardcore data that confirms the long-term underperformance of most active managers
    • Why much spoken-about market concentration isn’t a reason to abandon passive investing
    • Common arguments against indexing, and why they don’t stack up
    • How this applies to you if you're approaching retirement and looking for a smart, stress-free investment approach

    If you're a successful professional in your 50s, maybe eyeing the exit door at your company, or looking for an exit from your business, you're now facing a different kind of pressure: how to make sure your hard-earned wealth works for you over the (hopefully) several decades of your retirement!

    You’re not alone, and the good news is, the data keeps making the case for a simpler, smarter approach.

    Let’s dive off the top ropes and explore shall we!?

    Oh, as a 'big treat' I took my lads to a WWE event in Belfast at the weekend - it was such an over-the-top show that it's imprinted on my brain, so you'll have to pardon the many wrestling references here :)

    I hope it helps.
