Monday, June 2, 2025 • Duration 18:01

Our latest Alternative Thinking podcast is now live!

In today’s rapidly evolving global economic landscape, we’re excited to introduce the first episode in a three-part mini-series of our Alternative Thinking podcast, featuring Simon French and Kallum Pickering. This special series lays the groundwork for our new quarterly feature, offering clear, balanced insights into the key economic forces impacting both global and UK public and private markets.

In this opening episode, we turn our focus to the global economy, examining the growing risks of a trade war and the potential return to 1930s-style tariffs. With expert analysis, we explore the impact of fractured supply chains, shifting dollar dynamics, and intensifying geopolitical pressures. From investor uncertainty and weakening multilateral trade systems to the rise of bilateralism and Europe’s potential defence-tech resurgence, this episode is essential listening for anyone looking to make sense of the changing economic tides.
