In the latest episode of our award-winning series we are thrilled to welcome back returning favourite David Aujla, Head of Invesco’s Multi-Asset Funds and Model Portfolio Service, and Neal Bailey, a Market Insights Strategist and talismanic presenter on the Invesco Intelligence Seminar Series. The format sees the guests and host, Ben Gutteridge, each pick a World Cup 11, with no sharing of players, then comparing the characteristics of these selections with relatable asset classes. All in all a very lively and entertaining debate, and hopefully pretty informative for investment purposes too.

In the latest episode of our award-winning series we are compelled to welcome Ashley Oerth, a Senior Invesco Investment Strategist, back to the podcast! Making a record-breaking 3rd appearance, we are desperate to hear Ashley’s views on why AI associated stocks are running so, so hot, and whether we are flirting with, or already in, bubble territory? We also want Ashley’s thoughts on opportunities outside of AI infrastructure and semi-conductor plays, and why her team’s geographical preferences (at first blush) don’t appear to align with a positive view on the AI theme.
