The UK Money Podcast

I'm back with another episode of the show, and we've got a bit to catch up on. Today I'm giving my thoughts on what the King's Speech means for your money, and how Labours plan might impact your hip pocket. I also talk about how to calculate the real return of your investments, with nominal (non-inflation adjusted) numbers can be misleading. Lastly, I explain why I think you should consider your home a lifestyle expense, NOT an asset.

I'm back after a few weeks break and in this episode I'm talking through how to choose a financial advisor. I share 9 things to look for when choosing the right advisor for you, to make sure they're going to help you, and not just try sell you. Got questions? Hit me up at jason@jasonmountford.com

In this episode of The UK Money Podcast, I'm talking through what elections mean for your investments. There's going to be a lot of mud-slinging and fear mongering in the coming months, particularly with a US election coming as well as the just-announced UK election. I also discuss some more about the undervalued UK market, and how companies like Hargreaves Lansdown are becoming attractive takeover targets for private equity and foregin investors.

In today’s episode I’m talking about bonds. With investment markets starting to heat up a little, a lot of investors may be starting to think more about their asset allocation.

As well as that, I’m answering a listener question on what to do if you come into a lump sum of cash. This is a public episode.
