Join our Head of Investment Analysis, Laith Khalaf, for a concise, 45-minute session in which he explores the major market talking points for 2025, including:

  • the potential risks in the US stock market, and whether it's heading into bubble territory;
  • the evolving investment case for bitcoin, and what 2025 may have in store;
  • the big shake-up in the investment trust sector as activist investor Saba pushes to overhaul the boards of several trusts; and
  • the struggles facing actively-managed funds.

This is a recording of broadcast content; it therefore carries no CPD time credits.
