Inside Investing, Podcast Episode #2

Welcome to the second episode of Inside Investing.

Each week, James Marlay, co founder of Livewire Markets, and I will take you inside the investing world we experience each week. We will discuss interesting conversations or conferences we have enjoyed, highlight insightful articles from both our newsletters, and share some quirky moments in the markets.

This week, Inside Investing revisits an article by Paul Keating looking at challenges for retirement planning, highlights an optimistic fund manager and checks risks investing in long duration bonds. We review the numbers behind A2 Milk’s surging share price and we highlight two quirky money stories. Tune in!

Retirement is approaching. Markets are noisy. And every headline seems to demand action. The biggest investment risk isn't fear, greed or market volatility, it often arrives disguised as research and sensible risk management.

Shares

Why pay more for less?

Conditions were stacked in favour of professional investors in 2026. Most still fell short, raising questions about where investors should look for value. Meanwhile, an alternative strategy continued to make its case.
