  • The Gap Between Building a Pension and Living Off One
    There is a curious pattern in the financial advice industry that rarely gets discussed openly. A financial planner in their late thirties or forties tends to build a client base of similar age, just as a Boomer in their sixties often gravitates towards an adviser who understands their world from lived experience rather than textbook theory. This is natural, but it leaves a sizeable gap in the market: the client who has already built a retirement pot and now faces a far more complicated question than "how do I save more."

  • The World Cup Economy
    In today’s episode, we explore the economic impact of the FIFA World Cup beyond the football itself. We examine who really benefits financially, why host cities often struggle to generate the returns they expect, and how even global financial markets can be influenced by the fortunes of national teams.

  • Interest Rates: The Story Beneath the Noise

    Welcome to the Dominion Weekly Investment Update.


    This week, we explore why interest rate decisions remain one of the most important drivers of financial markets. From the recent technology sell-off to Alan Greenspan’s legacy and the first meeting led by the new Federal Reserve Chairman, we examine how monetary policy continues to shape the global economy and what it means for long-term investors.

  • Football, Fed Chairs and the Case for Experience
    This week, we explore how some of the most talked-about events in the world today — from the 2026 FIFA World Cup to SpaceX’s historic IPO and the latest decisions from the Federal Reserve — highlight a fundamental lesson for investors: the importance of separating noise from genuine signals. In a landscape shaped by headlines, volatility and conflicting opinions, we examine why experience, discipline and a long-term perspective remain essential tools for navigating markets successfully.

  • The World Cup and the World of Fund Management

    The 23rd FIFA World Cup is under way, running from 11 June to 19 July 2026 across 16 cities spanning the United States, Mexico, and Canada. For the first time in the tournament's history, 48 teams compete for the prize, up from the 32-team format that had been in place since France 1998. Over one thousand players, dozens of nations, and one trophy. The parallel with fund management is deliberate, and it runs considerably deeper than most people recognise.

  • Ancient Wisdom in the Age of the Mega-IPO
    Writing this from somewhere between the Acropolis and the agora, with markets falling on the day, it feels apt to contemplate what the ancient Greeks might make of the current investment landscape. As Athens has stood for millennia, so too has human nature, and nowhere is that more apparent than in the behaviour unfolding around what could be the most consequential IPO wave in market history.

  • What Value Do You Place on Trust?

    It is a simple question, yet one that sits at the very heart of financial advice. When a client hands over their life savings, their retirement fund, or the proceeds of a business they have spent decades building, they are not simply transferring capital. They are extending trust. And that trust flows in two directions: from the client to the adviser, and from the adviser to the fund manager they have chosen to recommend. The weight of that chain of responsibility should never be underestimated.

  • Active Versus Passive: The Question That Refuses to Go Away
    The investment industry's most persistent debate continues to generate more heat than light. The argument is deceptively simple: most active fund managers fail to beat the index over time, so why pay higher fees when an S&P 500 tracker delivers the market return at a fraction of the cost? For many commentators, the case is closed. Buy the index, ignore the noise, done. If only sound investment were that straightforward.

  • East and West: A Meeting of the Giants
    History was made in Beijing last week. For the first time in nearly a decade, an American president set foot on Chinese soil for a state visit. President Trump's visit to China from the 13th to the 15th of May was his second state visit to the country and the first by any American president since his own trip in 2017. The world was watching, and with good reason.

  • Politics and Markets: A Spectator Sport That Doesn't Pay the Bills
    There is a question that serious investors return to repeatedly, and it has perhaps never felt more pressing: does politics actually matter to your portfolio, or is it simply the most expensive distraction ever invented?
