With over 30 years' experience of investing in the Asia region, Jason Pidcock, manager of the Jupiter Asian Income fund, takes us deep into the heart of his fund's territory. He explains why he's comfortable with a zero-weighting to China and perhaps surprises some listeners with the news that the Australian stock market has been the best equity market in the world since 1900. Jason gives us the reasons behind Australia's success, then discusses the opportunities in India – particularly for dividend growth – and goes on to explain why the fund invests only in large caps. He ends with some stock examples and the benefits that an Asian income fund can offer investors.What's covered in this episode:Why the manager does not invest in ChinaInvestment opportunities outside of ChinaHow Australia has a history of dodging recessionLooking for dividend growth in IndiaThe fund's largest – and best-performing– holding in IndiaWhy the manager only invests in larger companiesWhy even the biggest market cap size is no barrier to further growthWhy market share and a company's margins are true investment indicatorsWhen the fund's investable universe massively expandedHow an Australian financials business has built a global presenceThe three ways investors can benefit from investing in AsiaMore about this fund:Well-known Asian income manager Jason Pidcock combs the breadth of the Asia Pacific market in search of large companies with reliable dividends that can deliver both income and growth for investors.

Alexandra Jackson, manager of Rathbone UK Opportunities fund, gives her views on the Silicon Valley Bank failure and why rising interest rates are felt more by start-ups than quality companies. According to Alexandra, the UK is trading on a 40% discount to global equities, so now could be a good time to invest. She discusses the wide range of opportunities to be had, ranging from gaming to infrastructure. What's covered in this episode: What happened with Silicon Valley Bank… and should we be worried?Are higher interest rates going to negativity effect mid and smaller sized UK companies?Why the banking strain is more felt by start-up companies than quality companiesWhy now is the time for stock pickingUK equities are  40% cheaper than global equitiesHow the manager constructs a portfolio for a potential recessionWhy politics have been one of the biggest positive surprises recentlyThe difference between investing in the FTSE 250 and AIM listed companiesHow UK companies can benefit from US infrastructure spendingWhy now is a good time to be investing in UK equitiesMore about the fund: The Rathbone UK Opportunities fund is a truly active and nimble multi-cap fund with a clear bias in favour of quality growth. The manager will invest in small caps all the way through to mega caps although her sweet spot is usually in the mid-cap part of the market. The fund's heavy mid cap and quality growth bias means it is likely to deliver very different performance to the UK market.Learn more on fundcalibre.comPlease remember, we've been discussing individual companies to bring investing to life for you.

Simon Moon and Alex Game, managers of the Unicorn UK Smaller Companies fund, review a tough year for their sector but are confident in still being able to find opportunities by buying into under-priced, high-quality assets.

Although Europe is once again under the microscope for all the wrong reasons, Waverton European Capital Growth co-manager Chris Garsten believes the much-maligned market is now a far more compelling investment proposition than it was eight months ago. He also talks to us about the threat of recession and why he feels it is important to go against the consensus when markets are difficult. Chris also talks to us about why the political need for the Euro to succeed will prevent any further break up. He also runs through the cyclical recovery opportunities he is finding in a post Covid world and the importance of having a strong investment process to find opportunities in the ESG space.What's covered in this episode: Why challenges equal opportunities in a post-Covid world and the attraction of cyclical recovery stocksHow the semiconductor shortage benefitted car companiesWhy finding ESG winners is anything but straightforwardHow new EU rules around sustainability could impact capital flows into minersWhy he is a fan of Scandinavian/Nordic companies and the importance of “strategic thinkers” like Nestle and RushHis fears about recession in Europe and why history tells us to be contrarian in difficult marketsWhy the political will for the Euro to succeed means it is unlikely to break upWhy Europe looks a more interesting investment than it did eight months agoMore about this fund: The managers of Waverton European Capital Growth fund focus on finding companies whose management interests are aligned with shareholders, have earnings visibility, pricing power, cash generation and return on capital.

“If you could attend fewer meetings, would you? The answer is not in talking less, but in talking differently.”Serial entrepreneur Josh Little knows a thing or two about running successful software and technology companies. He has founded numerous global software companies, including Qzzr, Bloomfire, and Maestro eLearning. His previous stints include working at Pfizer as National Account Manager.He currently brings his entrepreneurial expertise to clients as the CEO of Volley app - a video-first platform for businesses to have efficient and productive communications.Further along, Josh has been carrying on his family's legacy for the last 10 years by making the most delicious pickles just like his great grandfather used to make.On this episode of The Shape of Work podcast, Josh clarifies what asynchronous communication is and what it isn't, and offers some great insights on async communication and remote work.We discuss with Josh:His journey from being a teacher to being the CEO of four successful tech companiesWhy async winsVolley's mission: enable the future of work and save the world from death-by-meetings. Why more companies are frustrated with the concept of Async communication for remote teamsHis thoughts on the future of the workplace Asynchronous video communication as the next big thing in the world of remote work: building a Slack challenger.Why are more companies frustrated with the concept of Async communication for remote teams?As per Josh, people have been doing things a certain way for decades. There are only two ways in which companies can communicate with their workers, which are typing (memos, email, chat) and talking (meetings, video conferences and tools like zoom). The need to talk has increased slightly because there is less proximity and less ad-hoc communication. Since a lot of people have been working remotely during the pandemic, the frequency of meetings has increased by 13%.Why do companies need to change their current ways of communicating with employees?Josh says that companies need to pick their poison, implying, they need to choose between talking and typing. However, typing is 7 times slower than talking as an average person can compose written business communication at 19 words per minute. On the other hand, an average person can speak 150 words per minute. Josh added that when you communicate through speaking, only 7 per cent of that is the words that we choose to speak, 38 per cent is how we sound when we speak and 55 percent is what I look like when you are speaking.Asynchronous video communication as the next big thing in the world of remote work: building a Slack challenger?As per Josh, Volley aims to create a hybrid of both, richness of talking and flexibility of texting, which looks like a video messaging app. It would help to deal with the major issues of remote working, namely loneliness and lack of communication. Josh stated that Loom characterizes video as a piece of content, just like YouTube. Why is Volley being a separate platform altogether and why async wins?Josh says that Volley can replace some of the meetings as on one end of the spectrum it is achromous and on the other hand, it can replace a lot of brainstorming and one on one meetings. He believes Volley can make achromous communication better to a great extent. Some teams use volley; however, according to Josh, some teams fall back into the same behaviour and use slack. Zoom is said to be the dark age of remote work.Follow Josh on LinkedInProduced by: Priya BhattPodcast host: Abhash Kumar

"Our ego is our silent partner--too often with a controlling interest."~Cullen HightowerThe mere mention of the word ego conjures images of self-loving, selfish maniacs who would stop at nothing to bolster their own self-image. Here we make the clear distinction between ego, a person's self-esteem, and an egotist, a person wholly consumer with self-importance. Without the ego, there would be no success. What would drive us to fight through resistance, to risk failure, to persevere? We look at how a person can use their ego aspirationally without letting success get to our heads.In this episode:Why parents act like fools at youth sports gamesThe absurdity of big egos in large companiesWhy ego tends to show itself once you've had successLeaders who say "I" when things go poorly and "we" when things go wellWhy sacred cows exist in organizationsThe higher up you move in an organization, the fewer pats on the back you should expectHow Frank knew he wasn't getting a big tip at Outback SteakhouseHow to convince yourself you are still the underdogWhy we still freak out about posting videos onlineA lack of ego can be just as a big of a problem as an ego out of control
