In this debut “Macro Musings” edition of the Why Invest? podcast, the W1M Multi Asset team opens the door to the conversations normally held behind the scenes. They explore the forces shaping today’s markets — from US exceptionalism and inflationary pressures to liquidity, energy policy, and the growing influence of AI investment. They reflect on the psychology of portfolio construction, the importance of non-consensus thinking, and what history’s best investors can still teach us.

The discussion also takes a global lens, weighing the outlook for the US against Europe, China, and the UK, while delving into real assets, geopolitics, and the opportunities and risks of themes like gold, uranium, and copper.

Packed with debate and candid reflections, this episode brings listeners directly into the room with the team as they navigate the crossroads of economics, politics, and investing.
