  • How to break into the wealthtech market

    How to break into the wealthtech market
    Sep 9 2022
    For those without huge backing or a long-established entrepreneurial brand, breaking into the wealthtech market is a monumental task. In this week's episode, we speak to Anton Padmasiri and Shri Krishansen of WealthOS, who are trying to do just that.

    There are many obstacles to overcome for wealthtech startups. Funding, networking, marketing and product development all need to be on point, and even then there are few guarantees. Anton and Shri talk us through it, while also highlighting why it's so important that we listen to new perspectives as we seek to improve the way we invest and manage our finances.

  • Why the pensions dashboard is big news for UK personal finance

    Why the pensions dashboard is big news for UK personal finance
    Aug 19 2022
    Several pension schemes have expressed dismay at the 2024 launch date for the pensions dashboard, but why? In this episode, Jonathan Hawkins from Bravura explains that schemes have no excuses for not having their data ready, and also outlines that opacity has been in the best interests of those offering little value to customers.

    We also look at the good that dashboards can bring. Like never before, UK pension holders will be able to see what's really going on with their investments, and they'll be able to access it easily and in an understandable manner. While this means that some will learn that they've been ripped off, it also means that we are moving into an era of better pension schemes, and greater transparency for those who need it most.

  • 'I declare a recession': Thoughts on a dismal year for tech stocks

    'I declare a recession': Thoughts on a dismal year for tech stocks
    Aug 12 2022
    It's been a testing year for tech investors. To give this comment some context, take note that the Nasdaq 100 is down almost 20% this year, due largely to the slashed valuations in big tech. Tech start-ups are not immune from the downturn either, with closer scrutiny being applied to business models and balance sheets.

    Dan Kemp, global CIO at Morningstar Investment Management, joins The Wealthtech Show this week to help us make sense of it all. Will the downturn be here for long? Do investors need to take action? Are we really in a recession? And which tech companies will survive, or even thrive, in the next few years?

  • From BBC podcast to FBI's most wanted: The next steps of the Missing Cryptoqueen

    From BBC podcast to FBI's most wanted: The next steps of the Missing Cryptoqueen
    Jul 29 2022
    It would not be hyperbole to describe the OneCoin scam as a 'once in a lifetime' story for a journalist. When Jamie Bartlett started his investigation of it, he began a journey that would lead to the uncovering of a $4 billion Ponzi scheme, a hit BBC podcast, and the titular Missing Cryptoqueen, Dr. Ruja Ignatova, appearing on the FBI's top 10 most wanted list.



    In this episode of The Wealthtech Show, Jamie explains what's happened since the last episode of the podcast series while offering his thoughts on where Dr. Ruja might be hiding out. We also take some time to discuss his work on the dark web, and why crypto is unlikely to be the savvy criminal's currency of choice in 2022.
