Episode 2: Trailer: Series 2 of 2024: Wealth & Wellness and Capturing the Hero's Story

We are thrilled to be back with Series 2 of the 2024 Fiftyfaces Podcast, which will marry insights from private wealth with insights on strategy, leadership and the investment landscape. Inter-disiplinary learning is the way of the future, so we are excited to weave together diverse aspects of our investment discipline here. Series 2 is rich with insights around private wealth, 

We start with a discussion of the emerging landscape of “financial therapy”, and ask what it is and why it is important. Staying within private wealth ask about the threat from robo-advisers and look at ways to holistically think about protection as well as enabling our clients to prosper.  We move on then to discuss the changing shape of asset management, particularly around the generation of alpha and hear from a professor at Harvard about what he sees as fundamental shifts in this landscape.  

We cycle then from alternatives hearing from a founder of a hedge fund of funds firm to a divergent thinker in the investment office of one of the Mid-West’s largest health systems (who also treats us to a detour on his (prior) passion for poker and motorbikes). We move then into discussing diverse managers – amplifying them and getting them funded until we come to a triumphant landing then around topics we should all think more about – telling our story, and remembering who the hero should be.
