Alan Green joins the UK Investor Magazine Podcast for our latest instalment of UK equities and global markets.We start with looking at US Tech stock in Apple and Alphabet and go through the numbers from their bumper quarterly updates. Both produced revenue figures that surpassed analyst estimates in a strong quarter for two of the world's largest technology companies. Given the strong results from Apple and Alphabet, we explore whether we may be reaching the top of the earnings cycle as we come out of the pandemic and if a period of weaker growth could cause waves in equities.Barclays (LON:BARC) also reported a huge jump in profits as they released half year profits that rose to £5bn helped by the reversal of COVID provisions and strong investment banking activity. Barclays also increase their dividend and we look forward to what investors could expect from Barclays and other UK banks in terms of payouts in the future.We also explore Power Metal Resources (LON:POW) and Tertiary Minerals (LON:TYM).

This week's UK Investor Magazine Podcast with Alan Green covers Next shares (LON:NXT), the Zenova Group (LON:ZED) IPO and an under appreciated African growth story in AirTel Africa (LON:AAF).The FTSE 100 has suffered bouts of volatility over the last week as COVID cases rise globally and concerns about inflation persist. We question whether we could see more meaningful downside in markets in the third quarter and look at the potential buying opportunities in such a circumstance.Next shares gave a boost to the FTSE 100 following a strong trading update that demonstrated the successful shift to online sales during the pandemic. With such bumper sales figures, it does raise the possibility it is simply a result of pent up demand that diminishes through the rest of 2021.We discuss Zenova Group - which popped higher on its IPO - and what the future holds for the innovative fire protection company. Finally there is attention paid to a very fairly priced African growth company that may have flown under the radar. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The UK Investor Magazine Podcast is joined by Cormac Leech, founder of Litigation Funding platform AxiaFunder.AxiaFunder is the only investment platform available to UK investors to access the new asset class of Litigation Funding. AxiaFunder was established after Cormac's personal experience within litigation funding found that while there was a substantial market for litigation funding, there wasn't an available platform for high net worth and sophisticated investors. One of the standout attractions of litigation funding is the absence of correlation with the broad economic environment.Litigation, and the need to pursue litigation, is not largely impacted by economic growth in the same way traditional assets such as equities and bonds are. Find more information on the AxiaFunder website:https://www.axiafunder.com/Investing in offers promoted by AxiaFunder involves risks.
