In late July the Federal Reserve decided against lowering interest rates despite signals that the economy was cooling.

Their inaction heightened concerns Mohamed El-Erian, an economist and an investor, has had about the Fed and central bankers for nearly two decades.

El-Erian is the award-winning author of When Markets Collide. It won the FT Business Book of the Year in 2008. Go to ft.com/bookaward to find out all the latest news, including the 2024 longlist.

RUNNING ORDER:

We have a very special guest for you this week. In the year of elections we thought we'd get a politician on the podcast, or at least a former politician. The Right Honourable Lord William Hague agreed to join us. Lord Hague's held many senior roles, including Leader of the House of Commons, but is best known as the Leader of the Conservative party, 1997-2001, and First Secretary of State and Foreign Secretary, 2010-2014. He now pursues a wide range of business and charitable activities.

For those suffering from election fatigue, don't worry, this isn't a podcast about elections and we only briefly touch on politics. This is a conversation about the global forces steering markets and the economy. I wanted to know what's really happening behind closed doors when policymakers and business leaders meet to discuss the events that are shaping the world. We discuss ageing populations, AI, climate change and deglobalisation. Lord Hague was a delightful guest and I hope you enjoy the chat.

RUNNING ORDER:

01:32 - Part one: looking forward to a longer working life?

07:58 - Part two: Are policymakers and business leaders at loggerheads over climate change?

12:22 - Part three: deglobalisation and the fight to control the effects of AI

A very, very late change to the schedule this week but it's a welcome one too.

My colleagues Vera German and Jade Zhang had the opportunity to speak to legendary Emerging Markets investor Mark Mobius on the Value Perspective, our sister podcast, and we thought it would be rude not to share that with you.

Mark founded Mobius Capital Partners in 2018 following a three-decade tenure at Franklin Templeton where he managed over $40 billion in Emerging Markets’ portfolios.

Mark has experience of the opening up of various markets including Russia. He talks about what’s changed and remained the same throughout his career; understanding company culture; the impact of AI on Emerging Markets development; and the concept of a new Cold War. It's worth saying the views expressed in the podcast are Mark's and not Schroders. Enjoy!

RUNNING ORDER:

01:22 - Part one: Emerging markets - the early years

14:04 - Part two: AI and China

28:02 - Part three: Outlook for a multi-polar world

Energy security and carbon targets are high on the list of priorities among policymakers, consumers and investors. While a lot of people see renewable energy as a solution, Matthew Wald believes nuclear has a bigger role to play in the energy mix of the future.

Matthew was a journalist for four decades at the New York Times. He's now an analyst at the Breakthrough Institute in California, concerned with climate and energy and agriculture. Matthew argues that it's difficult to see renewable energy as the sole to our energy issues and that more should be spent on developing nuclear energy.

Welcome to a very special edition of The Investor Download where your host is Schroders’ CEO Peter Harrison – and the topic is all things AI.

Join Peter as he talks to Michael Bhaskar, one of the authors of The Coming Wave, a 2023 bestseller which critics have described as “vital”, “terrifying”, and “unmissable”.

Michael visited Schroders’ London office to record the conversation which was joined by Nils Rode, Charlotte Wood and Alex Tedder – each of whom in their different roles at Schroders is passionate about AI and brings their own angle to the topic.

The Coming Wave was one of six books shortlisted for the 2023 Financial Times and Schroders Business Book of the Year. Its other author, AI entrepreneur Mustafa Suleyman, is co-founder of Deepmind and Inflection AI. In the book Suleyman and Bhaskar warn about the dangers of innovations such as generative AI, synthetic biology and quantum computing, and assess how and if these dangers could be contained.

Raghuram Rajan is an economist, a former central banker and he is credited with predicting the 2008 financial crisis. He also wrote a book about it called Fault Lines: How Hidden Fractures Still Threaten the World Economy. The book won the FT Business Book of the Year award in 2010.
