FT News Briefing: How to spend wisely this holiday season with Claer Barrett

It’s been a rollercoaster week for both UK politics and our personal finances, with chancellor Rachel Reeves setting out tens of billions of pounds of tax rises in the Budget. But how will these new taxes be applied and what could they cost you? In a podcast recorded live at the FT, host and consumer editor Claer Barrett is joined by Dan Neidle, the founder of Tax Policy Associates; Stuart Kirk, the FT’s investment columnist; and Tej Parikh, the FT’s economics leader writer, to field questions from readers and listeners. They cover everything from what the Budget means for people investing in UK markets, the new rules on pensions and salary sacrifice, how to stay under the £100,000 threshold for childcare support and much more.

The 2025 Budget: what does it mean for your money?

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.

Investment Clinic: Should I keep betting on Warren Buffett?

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?

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?

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?

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: the high earner taking stock tips from ChatGPT

How does one double a sizeable portfolio in under a decade? The short answer is by taking more investment risk - and in today’s episode one of the FT’s most experienced investment columnists weighs up the potential risks. 

Stuart Kirk has set an ambitious financial goal to hit ahead of his 60th birthday — growing his portfolio from just over £500,000 today to £1mn by 2032. 

Will he be persuaded to take a punt on flashy US tech stocks, dabble in alternative investments such as private equity, go for gold, or even gamble with cryptocurrency?

In the edited highlights from the FT Weekend Festival in London, host Claer Barrett invites Stuart to present his portfolio to the FT Money tent, before taking a grilling from inquisitive FT subscribers in the audience.
