Investors" Chronicle ·

2026/04/10

In this week’s show we discuss the temporary ceasefire in the Middle East – if it is really appropriate to call it that – and consider whether the announcement has done anything to lighten a global economic outlook that has looked increasingly gloomy for the past few weeks.Investors have certainly priced in a fair amount of relief. We discuss if they are right to do so, and what happens next. Julian Hofmann has the details.Our big read this week, meanwhile, is about a continent that could be

We begin the show with consumer goods giant Unilever (ULVR) – soon to be somewhat smaller, given the $45bn spin-off of its foods business to US spice and sauce maker McCormick (MKC). The reaction to the news, though, has been distinctly underwhelming. Erin Withey examines what it means for Unilever’s future.Then we turn to Berkeley (BKG), the housebuilder, which, this week, published an unscheduled negative update, less than three weeks after it told investors everything was fine.

At £5.7bn, Artemis Global Income is one of the largest global income funds available to UK investors. It posted enthusiastic returns in 2025, well above what you would normally expect from this kind of strategy. But has this made the portfolio holdings expensive, and where does it go from here?Manager Jacob de Tusch-Lec talks to Val Cipriani about being nervous about what comes next, whether the war in Iran means 2022 all over again for stock markets, and how he feels about AI.Timestamps00:00

2026/03/27

It’s been another seesaw week as the world weighs up the chances of an end, or at least a cessation, to hostilities in the US-Israeli war with Iran. President Donald Trump is taking a more conciliatory tone, but in this case, a U-turn is not in his gift alone and with Iran talking tough, the optimism of earlier in the week has started to ebb as we record today’s show.The episode starts by looking in more detail at some of the implications of the continued pressure on the Strait of Hormuz, the key

2026/03/20

On this week’s show, we begin with industrials. It was only a month or so ago that the sector was being touted by many as a potential safe haven from AI disruption. Then the US/Israel war with Iran began, and the merits of energy-intensive physical assets were hastily reconsidered.But of course not all industrials are alike. Today we take a look at top-performingDiploma (DPLM)– crucially more of a distributor than a manufacturer – whose shares rose by a fifth after its latest trading update. We’ll

Meeting Town Centre’s executive chair: Lee and the IC

Investors" Chronicle ·

2026/03/17

Town Centre Securities (TOWN)is one of the UK market’s oldest names. Founded, managed and largely controlled by the Ziffs of Leeds since its listing in 1960, it is a typical John Lee stock: a cash-generative, dividend-paying, and storied family business with roots in the North.Another factor explains John’s recent decision to start building a stake in the group. At £1.15p, Town Centre’s share price trades well below half of the company’s net asset value.In this latest CEO interview, John and IC

Ranmore Global Equity(IE00B61ZVB30)is a value fund that has grown very quickly over the past 18 months. In June 2024, it had a $300mn portfolio, but by January 2026 this had hit $1.5bn.The fund’s manager, Sean Peche, talks to Val Cipriani about how he finds underappreciated and undervalued stocks, why he doesn’t meet company CEOs, and why buying and holding ‘forever’, a strategy favoured by star managers Terry Smith and Nick Train, no longer works in today’s rapidly changing world.Timestamps00:00:

Meeting Christie Group's CEO: Lee and the IC

2026/02/17

Christie Group has a lot going for it. Growing in several countries and an employer to around 650 people, the brokerage business is a well-respected name in multiple niche sectors. Last year sales exceeded £70mn, and management reckons operating profits of £10mn are possible. The kicker, following the disposal of several subsidiaries, is that its balance sheet is full of cash.Lord Lee of Trafford clearly agrees. In more than 80 transactions since 2002, he has amassed a 6 per cent holding across both

This week, after a software sell-off that has rattled some of the UK’s most popular ‘quality’ stocks, we look at the fallout for the likes of Relx, Sage, Experian and others. Valeria Martinez is here to discuss whether the launch of Anthropic’s new AI tools represents an existential threat to these businesses.After that, we turn to the hopefully calmer world of corporate bonds and the reforms that have the potential to open up the market more widely to DIY investors.

The UK’s largest investment platform, Hargreaves Lansdown, has announced its first fee overhaul in over a decade. But as ever the devil is in the detail, and despite its headline price cut there has been a bit of an outcry in some quarters. Val Cipriani is here to discuss which users will benefit, and which will lose out.After that we discuss our big read of the week, looking at – dare we say it – happier, more relaxed methods of building wealth.
