Episode 25: Series 5 2025 Trailer: From Fraud Triangles to Total Return

Have you heard about the fraud triangle? Do you know what graduate trainees look for in an employer? 

We are delighted to launch Series 5 of the Fiftyfaces Podcast this week. Featuring a range of voices from the Australian Superannuation Fund Aware Super to a legend of the UK local government pension scheme, we hear what drives their leadership styles, their insights on the dynamic backdrop to pensions the world over as well as novel approaches in which they see interesting opportunities. 

We dive into key investment topics - like the opportunity in healthcare and how to do real operational due diligence. We hear about the European emerging manager scene and why the UK should not be written off as an investment destination. 

We listen to a CIO who risked it all, lost it all and bounced back in an institutional setting that proved just the right combination of support and challenge and from a Brazilian institutional investment adviser as well as a leader in modern diversified financial solutions in the alternatives space. 

Tune in starting this week to hear from our guests Deanne Stewart, Ian McKnight, Pilar Gomez-Bravo, George Graham, Lindsey Bass, Rebecca Heun, Jo Natauri, Jamila Osman, Everaldo Franca and James Clarke.
