Episode 15 of the Just William podcast is in and it's so dense with current news and investment analysis it is reminiscent of a good sponge pudding.

Host Duncan Williams seeks the opinion of partners Robert Ash and John Newsome on the ongoing impact of the war in Ukraine, the failure of global policy to alleviate double-digit inflation and what this will mean for specifics such as house prices and student debt.

They also offer a few pointers on how to approach investment in times of economic difficulty, and consider IPOs, crypto-currency and large managed funds.
