Paul Roberts Stockomendation

Paul Roberts, on how Stockomendation can make you a better investor

Stockomendation is a share-tipping site I’ve followed for ages. In fact, most of the tipsters on it I’ve followed for even longer, but in a very fragmented way. Dipping in and out of various websites, publications and social media feeds to see who is saying what about the “hot stocks”. But, then along came Stockomendation

Dan Moczulski eToro UK MD

Dan Moczulski, eToro UK MD on the new “global” way to invest

I’ve always thought that Canary Wharf gets a bad rap when it’s described as soulless, and like an airport compared to The City. I’ve worked in both for years during my two decades in finance and I have to say that I actually quite like going to Canary Wharf, it’s clean, the City is grubby,

Massimiliano Alvisini Western Union

Massimiliano Alvisini, on Western Union’s resilience to challenger brands

One of the most “disrupted” markets of the last ten years has been the money transfer industry. Money transfer apps, peer-to-peer currency networks, and off the rack white label solutions from a new nimble breed of fintechs have reduced customer fees, improved exchange rates and speeded up transfer times. But when it comes to money,

Jordan Mayo, Profile Pensions CEO on the merits of technology meeting advice

Pensions are big business at the moment. Partly because people are generally taking more interest in their finances, but also because there is a convergence of technology and service. Pensions have always been seen as a background investment, one not to be tinkered with. But as technology helps highlight the excessive costs from legacy platforms

Romi Savova, PensionBee CEO

Romi Savova, PensionBee CEO on narrowing the pension advice gap

A recurring theme when I talk to CEOs and Fund Managers about long-term investing is that to make money most of the time you should do absolutely nothing. That, however, is in stark contrast to the fact that you must do something absolutely immediately, as soon as possible, this instant. Both are true, you should

Tom McGillycuddy, CEO of tickr (now CIRCA5000) on how impact investing can help you make a difference (as well as money)

A lot has changed in the world of ethical investing. When I first started out as a stockbroker for King & Shaxon, almost twenty years ago, ethical investing consisted of huddling around a Bloomberg terminal for morning conference calls, chirping in with potential investment opportunities may or may not fulfil ethical investment criteria. Caring about

Rezaah Aahmad

Rezaah Ahmad, CEO of WiseAlpha explains how and why his platform allows private clients to invest in previously unattainable high-yielding corporate bonds

Life is pretty unfair really. All the (seemingly) best stuff is reserved for people with the most money. And finance is no different. If you’re taking out a massive mortgage for an eight-bed, detached mansion on a private estate you can borrow at interest rates that are lower than for an ex-local studio flat. When
