    192: Emerging and Frontier Markets: Cyclical Bounce or the Beginning of a Secular Advance? A discussion with Peter Elam Håkansson, CEO and Founder of East Capital.
    Jan 22 2026

    Emerging Markets, once the darling of the asset allocators world, have found themselves increasingly discarded by those same allocators.

    Such became the re-allocation away from them and the magnetism of the US & its technology companies, that as recently as the end of 2024, Emerging Markets were at a 50 year low, relative to the S&P 500.

    With some improved relative performance, it may be asked if this is a flicker, or are we at the foothills of a bigger reallocation? East Capital’s CEO, Peter Håkansson, discusses the opportunities, the lessons drawn from researching them for 3 decades, and what the drop in EM Government bond yields might be signalling.

    He explains why no central heating might indicate corporate failure ahead, which fundamentals matter, and why they prefer to take their bets in company position sizing, rather than in the country weights.

    He also discusses Frontier markets, the impact of foreign exchange and as a music lover he is, “reasons to be cheerful!” (Ian Dury & the Blockheads)

  • 191: Can We Live Longer? What it Might Mean for Medicine, Money, & Markets - With Dr Andrew Steele

    191: Can We Live Longer? What it Might Mean for Medicine, Money, & Markets - With Dr Andrew Steele
    Jan 8 2026

    As Mike Milken said on this podcast, “the greatest achievement of humankind in the 20th century, was the doubling of life expectancy.”

    If living longer seems a powerful goal, the caveat would be only if it goes hand in hand with being healthy whilst being older, AND in not running out of money!

    In this conversation, Dr Andrew Steele examines, diagnoses, evaluates, and prescribes the implications, actions, benefits, costs and possibilities associated with living longer, healthier lives.

    He examines the financial and health aspects, the drugs already breaking new ground, why reasons for optimism are well grounded, and the associated leaps in scientific understanding.

  • 190: Marketing God. With Nicky Gumbel, Pioneer of the Alpha Course

    190: Marketing God. With Nicky Gumbel, Pioneer of the Alpha Course
    Dec 18 2025
    In this Christmas special, we reshare our conversation with Nicky Gumbel!

    Very occasionally one individual can have a disproportionately powerful impact on a collection of people, but very rarely does that person’s impact grow in time and reach, and expand beyond anyone’s expectations and for millions, be responsible for enhancing their lives.

    In this episode we explore a slightly different realm: religion. Our guest, the Reverend Nicky Gumbel, talks of his own odyssey from barrister to clergyman, before widening both awareness and access to Christianity to those outside the church via the Alpha Course.

    Alpha - a term which we usually employ in a very different context on the podcast - effectively rebranded and modernised Christianity for a new generation in the 1990s, with tens of thousands of courses being run by the end of the decade. The programme has now been translated into 112 different languages, and 30 million people have taken part.

    In this interview he explains his own pivot to faith, how he was asked to take charge of the Alpha Course development, and in the subsequent years how its reach was extended globally.

    He explains how he built it into a global brand, how charismatic leadership can be relevant to all fields, the changing relationship between faith and secularism, the role of religion for prisoner rehabilitation, as well as thoughts on morality, money and giving!
