In this episode, George Ladds is joined by Gervais Williams, veteran fund manager, author, and long-standing advocate for UK equities. Gervais shares his journey from engineering into investment management and reflects on over three decades of navigating market cycles.


We discuss:


  • Why today’s markets differ from past cycles – and the risks of assuming “buy the dip” always works

  • The retreat of globalisation, the rise of nationalism, and what this means for investors

  • Why equity income and cash-generative businesses could define the next 20 years

  • The overlooked potential of UK small and micro-caps (including AIM)

  • How active management can help avoid “zombie companies” and uncover future winners


Gervais also reflects on conviction, resilience, and why diversification across industries and company sizes is critical in a more uncertain world.


👉 A thoughtful and candid conversation on building resilient portfolios and rediscovering opportunities in the UK market.
