How to beat the markets (featuring Lars Kroijer)


Listen Later

Between the hot stock and crypto tips, and big money headlines, is it possible to win big? Or does trying to beat the market just hold us back? This episode explores why trying to beat the market is such a powerful idea, and what influences the way we invest. Dr Tom is joined by former hedge manager, Lars Kroijer, to challenge the stereotypes of investors, before MoneyWeek editor, Kalpana Fitzpatrick, adds a journalist’s perspective on why many people struggle to move from saving to investing – especially women.
