Money Clinic with Claer Barrett

Twenty-nine-year-old Faye has made some sensible investing decisions and … some more outlandish ones. Should this high-earning City worker, who’s dabbled in everything from cryptocurrency to novelty number plates, get a little bit more serious about how she invests? Presenter Claer Barrett, the FT’s consumer editor, is joined by Adam Walkom, co-founder of financial planning firm Permanent Wealth Partners, and Nimesh Shah, CEO of accountancy firm Blick Rothenberg. They speak to Faye about tax-efficient vehicles (such as like venture capital trusts), the six-figure salary tax trap, and why there’s nothing wrong with having a bit of fun investing.

Investment Clinic: the high earner taking stock tips from ChatGPT

Software engineer Stephan has a problem. As an early backer of bitcoin, he has made a lot of paper profit from cryptocurrencies, which now make up about a fifth of his portfolio. But Stephan’s also a big believer in ethical investing, including green investments. Given the energy-intensive nature of bitcoin mining, how could he approach resolving this conflict? Podcast host Claer Barrett, the FT’s consumer editor, is joined by FT columnist and personal finance expert Moira O’Neill, and David Baxter, funds editor at the Investors’ Chronicle. Together, they discuss the true meaning of green investing, and how Stephan might simplify his investments (and save himself some admin…)

Investment Clinic: I’m an ethical investor – but I can’t kick crypto

Sixty-seven-year-old Paul invests using index funds. Over the years, his exposure to US tech stocks has helped him build up a sizeable retirement pot — but recent stock market volatility is making him worry.

Now that he’s no longer working, Paul wonders if he should diversify into other equity markets, consider buying bonds, or an annuity. But he is finding this is hard to do without looking at the bigger picture of his finances in retirement.

Financial Times consumer editor Claer Barrett is joined by Adam Walkom, co-founder of financial planning firm Permanent Wealth Partners, and Moira O’Neill, an award-winning journalist with a column in the weekend edition of the FT.

Investment Clinic: I'm 67 - will US stocks crash my retirement?

Forty-nine-year-old Jane has always been careful to squirrel money away, and a recent inheritance has boosted her nest egg to £125,000. But there’s one problem: it’s all in cash. Now, with half an eye on retirement, Jane wants to start investing but is unsure about how to do this.

Presenter Claer Barrett hears from experts Emma Sterland, chief financial planning director at Evelyn Partners, and Investors’ Chronicle editor Rosie Carr. Together, they discuss how Jane might make the most of tax-efficient vehicles like the stocks and shares Isa, how a first-time investor could build a diversified portfolio, and why knowing your reasons for investing is so important.

Investment Clinic: I’m almost 50 – is it too late to start investing?

Matt started investing at just 22 with the help of his financial adviser father. Now, at 29, and with a wedding on the cards, he’s got an extra reason to be diligent about his money. Some of Matt’s stock picks (such as Glencore) haven’t been performing as he might like. Is it time to leave stock-picking behind, and focus on a more diversified approach?

Presenter Claer Barrett is joined by Adam Walkom, the co-founder of Permanent Wealth Partners, and Investors’ Chronicle editor Taha Lokhandwala, to discuss Matt’s situation. Adam and Taha disagree on the merits of stock-picking – but they’re in agreement about the concentration risk lurking within Matt’s portfolio.

Investment Clinic: I’m 29 – should I still be taking stock tips from my dad?

Fifty-eight-year-old Margo has amassed a very healthy retirement fund, in part by buying shares in Berkshire Hathaway, the investment company run by Warren Buffett. When even the ‘Sage of Omaha’ is reducing his exposure to certain US stocks, Margo wonders if it’s time for her to follow his lead and look to invest in other parts of the world. 

Presenter Claer Barrett, the FT’s consumer editor, is joined by not one but two FT columnists: Simon Edelsten, Partner at Goshawk Asset Management, and finance veteran and Skin in the Game columnist Stuart Kirk. Together, they chew over Buffett’s succession plans, the lure of Japanese stocks and why even Margo’s seven-figure portfolio could be particularly vulnerable to a market correction.

FT Money show, 18 May 2007

Isas, or individual savings accounts, in the UK are tax-free vehicles that have made millions of investors richer since their launch in 1999. The government is now considering a shake-up that would simplify “a complex landscape” of Isa products - but questions have been raised about fractional shares, which are traded by tens of thousands of younger investors. Host Claer Barrett discusses the basics of using Isas to save and invest, as well as what the government might have in store, with Jason Hollands, managing director of the online investment platform Bestinvest, Sarah Coles, head of personal finance at Hargreaves Lansdown and Brian Byrnes, head of personal finance at the savings and investment app, Moneybox.

The Money Clinic podcast is a general discussion around financial topics and does not constitute an investment recommendation or individual financial advice. For that, you'll need to find an independent financial adviser.
