    Risk and reward: Closing the wealth gap

    This latest podcast by FTAdviser, in recognition of International Women's Day, aims to consider the way that women perceive investment risk and reward, and whether the traditional language employed and methods used by advisers and wealth managers works for women or whether there are some adaptations needed. On this podcast, hosted by editor Simoney Kyriakou, guests Louis Williams, head of psychology and behavioural insights at Dynamic Planner, and Sarah Ruggins, head of multi-asset research at St. James’s Place, provided an overview of the dichotomy that has been created over recent decades - namely that women are more financially independent than ever, but less financially resilient.

    How to learn from Amazon's model

    But what happens when the kingpin of big data and clever, tailored marketing to each of its consumers decides to take on financial services? The potential for Amazon to become a shop front for life insurance brokers or wealth managers has become clear in recent years. But while the regulatory niceties will need to be worked out, what do we make of the model that Amazon can offer in becoming a one-stop shop for clients? And what do we make of large entities in regulated financial services attempting to counter this potential threat by becoming all things to all people? Talking to FTAdviser editor Simoney Kyriakou on this podcast is Ian McKenna, founder of fintech consultancy F&TRC, and Hugo Bedford, chief executive of JM Finn. The FTAdviser Podcast is designed to inform regulated UK advisers on a range of topics, covering investments, pensions, regulation and other key issues. Hosted on Acast.
