Ep 7: Evidence-Based Investing & SMAs — Cutting Through the Hype


Listen Later

Are today’s investing trends truly unlocking greater transparency, personalisation, and outcomes for clients, and how can advisers harness them to deliver lasting value?

In this episode of The Scientiam Show, Nigel Baker and Dr. Katherine Hunt explore:

  • Evidence-Based Investing (EBI): How decades of research and data-backed strategies are better than speculation - and why adoption remains limited.
  • SMAs: The benefits, considerations, and evolving role they play in delivering personalised, transparent client experiences.


Sharing practical ways to combine evidence, ethics, and technology to keep investment strategies client-focused and future-ready. Whether you’re an adviser, wealth manager, or investor, this conversation will help you navigate these trends with clarity and confidence.
