Wisdom Shared

Prepared for professional advisers only. Host Nathan McKerlie interviews Annabel Gillard and Keith Richards about how AI will reshape financial advice. The episode focuses on the Consumer Duty and vulnerability in its broadest sense as the guests explore whether AI can really open up access to financial advice.

Annabel and Keith cover the risks of misinformation and the importance of human oversight and ethics when AI is in use in advice firms. The episode provides practical steps for advisers thinking about using AI, focusing on how they could use the technology to enhance outcomes rather than as a cost-saving measure.

Prepared for professional advisers only. This is part 1 of a two-part series of Wisdom Shared focusing on the intersection of artificial intelligence and financial markets. In this episode, Charlie Parker hosts a solo discussion, taking a deep dive into whether recent equity moves linked to AI represent a speculative bubble or a sustainable shift.

He explores valuations, data-centre investment trends, private-credit exposure, and the macroeconomic backdrop shaping market sentiment. Charlie outlines why tech profits have so far justified elevated prices, while highlighting where vulnerabilities may emerge. 

He concludes by discussing how diversification and a cautious, disciplined approach can help investors build resilience amid the rapid evolution of AI-driven markets.

Part 2 will test these views further with Fahad Hassan, CIO, and Frank Talbot, Head of Investment Selection.
