Our expert host, Gwera Kiwana, is joined by some great guests to ask: 'is the future of investment active or passive?'

But while many young investors were energised, the economic downturn has potentially shown the importance of long-term investments after all. So: is the future of investment taking the bull by the horns and doing things entirely yourself, or is passing your money over to AI algorithms the better method in the long run?
