  • Cassian Scott: CEO and Founder of Instinct Digital
    Jan 21 2026

    In this episode, we are joined by Cassian Scott, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Instinct Digital, for a wide-ranging discussion on asset management, technology and regulatory change. Cassian reflects on his career, how reporting and client analytics are evolving, and why human oversight remains critical even as AI accelerates processes.

    The discussion explores the challenges and opportunities of personalised reporting, the role of technology in reducing costs and improving transparency, and the path for scaling a UK fintech business internationally.

    Cassian also shares insights on startup funding, the UK ecosystem, and where he sees the next big investment opportunities in automating manual, inefficient processes.

  • Gerard Minack: Founder of Minack Advisors
    Dec 19 2025

    In our final episode of 2025, we are joined by macro strategy expert Gerard Minack, for a wide-ranging discussion on markets, policy and risk. Gerard reflects on his career, how macro investing has evolved, and why human behaviour still matters as much as data and technology.

    The discussion explores the AI boom, including market concentration and investor expectations as well as inflation, interest rates, government debt and the resilience of consumers.

    Gerard outlines the signals he’s watching most closely and shares where he believes opportunities might lie if markets become more volatile.
