Discover the intricate world of global financial markets with Robin Wigglesworth, editor of FT Alphaville, as we navigate the fascinating dynamics of the bond market. Robin shares his passion and insights, drawing from his current work on a book chronicling the history of bonds. Through our discussion, you will gain a deeper understanding of the volatility in the U.S. Treasury yields, the implications of these unusual fluctuations, and why U.S. markets often rally while Europe remains undervalued.Reflecting on past financial crises, we dissect the nuanced relationship between bond and equity markets, revealing how bonds can be a more perceptive indicator of systemic risks. Recent economic turbulence, from the Silicon Valley Bank collapse to inflationary pressures, has brought increased volatility in fixed income markets, raising concerns about their fragility. Yet, U.S. Treasuries remain a safe haven in times of crisis. We examine how central banks play a pivotal role in maintaining market stability and explore the potential impacts of a hypothetical second Trump administration on global markets.Our conversation extends to the evolving financial landscapes in Europe and Japan, where signs of optimism are emerging despite historical challenges. We explore the implications of Europe's potential shift towards American-style securitization and Japan's low-interest rates. Meanwhile, the U.S. sees a rise in private credit, invoking comparisons to past financial trends like subprime lending. Get a glimpse into the speculative nature of distressed asset investing, the role of leveraged ETFs, and how trading dynamics have shifted in today's markets.

Citadel, XTX and Jane Street have come to dominate trading on Wall Street, and not just in equities. They now run a huge proportion of trading in currency and bonds, something the banks used to own.

How Much of the YPF Judgement Will Burford, Realistically, Recover? Burford Capital, a highly sophisticated litigation finance operation, has won an enormous judgment ($16 billion, where its share is upwards of $6 billion) against the Republic of Argentina. The question is how much of this judgment Burford is realistically likely to be able to collect on. Using a recent FT Alphaville article, “Dog Catches Argentine Car” by Jay Newman as our foil, we try to break down the likelihood of Burford getting a recovery. We think a significant recovery is plausible – particularly if the new administration in Argentina decides to default and renegotiate all of the myriad claims against it once and for all.

‘Over the past decade, about 80 cents of every dollar that has gone into the US investment industry has ended up at Vanguard, State Street, and BlackRock. As a result, the combined stake in S&P 500 companies held by the Big Three has quadrupled, from about 5 percent in 1998 to north of 20 percent today.' These are the opening lines to the book, Trillions, by Robin Wigglesworth, Editor of FT Alphaville and a friend of the show.   Today, we further unpack the world of ETFs to understand their evolution, and how they are becoming a much broader wrapper for a multitude of strategies. Salim explains how CIOs, allocators, and individuals use their products to build portfolios and gain exposure to themes, strategies and markets.   Salim then dispels some of the myths of fixed income investing, before explaining how investors can use technology to vote whilst also owning passive vehicles, and how savers in Europe are changing their habits.   Sign up to our newsletter for more in-depth insights | Follow us on LinkedIn   The Money Maze Podcast is kindly sponsored by Schroders, Bremont Watches, LiveTrade and Mintus.  

Robin Wigglesworth is editor of FT Alphaville, the Financial Times' financial blog, where he focuses on the biggest trends reshaping markets, investing and finance across the world. Robin is also the author of a book called ‘Trillions – How a Band of Wall Street Renegades Invented The Index Fund and changed Finance Forever'. It's been described as the definitive book on the past, present and future of passive investing. Trillions is a riveting read for anyone interested in the story of index funds, which is a topic I've discussed with several guests on the podcast over the years. Robin describes the index funds as one of the most disruptive inventions in the history of investing and he joined me on the podcast to explain why, with humorous anecdotes and stories, including Warren Buffet's famous bet against any active manager to beat the index over a 10 year period. We also chat about a concept known as index hugging or closet indexing, different types of index funds available, where Robin shares the story of value stocks, and how building a judicious portfolio can help make for a successful investment experience. Oh, and Robin shares the secret of FT Alphaville's success (it's free!).

We're nearly one month into Russia's war against Ukraine. Officials from Moscow and Kyiv have met intermittently for peace talks that have so far failed to bring a cessation of hostilities. Geopolitical tensions are once again showing up in energy markets. Several European Union member states are pushing for a fifth round of sanctions on Russia. Cutting off Russian crude would theoretically take 4% to 5% of global supply off the market. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia, under increasing pressure to ramp up its output, is calling on Western allies to do more to help counter attacks by Iran-backed Yemeni Houthis on critical oil infrastructure. Investors are also weighing a rise in COVID-19 cases in Europe stemming from an emerging variant. Izabella Kaminska, former editor of The Financial Times' FT Alphaville blog and founder of The Blind Spot, joins Emil Kalinowski to discuss the latest geopolitical and financial headlines, with a focus on media and propaganda surrounding the war in Eastern Europe.

Today, we have a special podcast episode, which is all about Bitcoin, discussing topics like: should every investor have some exposure to Bitcoin or is it still too volatile? What’s its intrinsic value anyway? And is Bitcoin a sustainable investment when it consumes more electricity than Argentina? We hosted four excellent guests: Izabella Kaminska, FT Alphaville editor at the Financial Times; Preston Byrne, partner at Anderson Kill; Nic Carter, partner at Castle Island Ventures; and Seamus Donoghue, VP Strategic Alliances at METACO.

State Guarantees That Bite One in the Backside Our guest is legendary financial reporter, Joseph Cotterill, who famously chronicled the Pari Passu Saga for FT Alphaville in a previous incarnation. Joseph is now the Africa correspondent for the FT and we ask him about the corruption infused Tuna Bonds of Mozambique and South Africa's tottering utility giant Eskom. In both situations, the largely unexamined problem of off balance sheet state borrowing via guarantees seems to have played a key role in the creation of the debt problems these countries face.

Our guest, Alexandra Scaggs, is a senior writer at Barron’s, where she covers markets and fixed income. The episode begins as an interview about financial journalism and dealing head-on with the neoliberal economic narrative, but evolves into a conversation that is both personal and political in which she and Steve share their experiences with everything from sobriety to learning about MMT. As Alexandra tells it, news organizations maintain the mainstream narrative through ways both subtle and direct. In her career, she hasn’t faced overt censorship. Financial publications often hire young journalists who don’t yet have a sophisticated understanding of functional finance or economics. They tend to respect credentials and positions of authority, thus are likely to accept the word of those in positions of power. Reporters are also dealing with deadlines, leaving them no time to investigate other explanations. Austerity begets austerity; the publication doesn’t hire enough journalists, so each of them are doing the work of several. Sounds like the conditions most workers face, doesn’t it? Steve likes to ask his guests about the “aha moment” -- that point in time when the veil was lifted, the haze cleared, and Modern Monetary Theory pointed them toward the truth. Alexandra remembers that shortly after the 2016 election there were a number of Democrats writing op-eds that sounded the alarm about the economic devastation that the Drumpf presidency would surely cause, driving our fiscal health into the ground, plunging the US into bankruptcy. She was struck by the disingenuousness of it. The political parties don and remove their cloak of fiscal responsibility depending on whose team is in power. She had also been aware that interest rates continue to be low regardless of the size of national debt or deficit. Alexandra credits friend-of-the-podcast Rohan Grey with teaching her about MMT. She was covering the treasury market where certain facts weren’t making sense. She met Rohan, “a very effective advocate, who sat me down and shouted at me until I understood it,” she says, “and I’m so glad he did.” The scarcity mindset pits us against each other in a zero-sum game. If the pie is small, we must scratch and scramble to secure our own little slice. With everyone competing for scraps there's little time to think of an alternative and yet Alexandra’s experience in the recovery community inspires her to imagine a broader collaboration that rejects the neoliberal imperative. She believes we can construct an economic reality in which all are valued and her optimism, in turn, inspires us. Alexandra Scaggs is a senior writer at Barron's covering markets, with a focus on fixed income. She previously wrote news and commentary about markets, the economy, and social issues for the Financial Times and FT Alphaville. Before that, she covered markets for Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal. https://www.barrons.com/authors/8576 @alexandrascaggs on Twitter

The work world is reawakening this week. Senior folks are back from vacation, summer is unofficially over, and the subtle angst of annual goal-setting is suddenly echoing in the streets.Why? Almost everyone who makes investment decisions for a living would say their efforts are in service to some kind of strategy. But what does that even mean? To keep first principles in the foreground, Ashby and I decided we’d better talk through the basics and then apply them to a case study. Specifically: Let’s say the United States actually buys Greenland. FT Alphaville determined that Greenland is worth about $1 trillion on a tongue-in-the-cheek basis, which is nothing if not a lot of money. Where would you deposit the check? And what’s next once you’ve done that? The resulting institution — let’s call it the Greenland Permanent Fund Corporation (GPFC)— would instantly be one of the most influential investors on the planet. We explored a couple of big strategic questions in our discussion: Which core attributes should GPFC center in its culture?How can GPFC keep its staff concentrated its staff on super long-term objectives? If the fund’s mandate was to stave off future climate change, how would its staff go about aligning this investment organization with the task at hand? Give it a listen! You’ll literally get Free Money delivered right into your ears. If you’re into that sort of thing, you should also check out our last episode. We asked what you’ve all wondered: Is there more to life than creating shareholder value? Forward-looking folks have already ensured they don’t miss the next one. If you’d like to join their number, just click below. More recently, we also talked about how to align capitalism with human survival on earth, Sabermetrics, startup founders who don’t realize gravity applies to them, and forthcoming merch. And as always, we took some great questions from listeners: I just started a new job at a well known consulting firm, and worry after listening to your podcast about first fund rules that I'll inevitably become part of "the problem." Am I foolish to think I can build a better system from inside the one we have?My daughter just signed up for a weekend investment strategy seminar after listening to a radio ad. She paid $99, and is excited to begin investing actively. I believe in her, but is investing really simple enough to learn over two days?I've built a small, but strong circle of femme entrepreneurs in my city. We gather together to work through each other's problems and pair off to hold each other accountable. But that's all, and I worry that our organizing is too instinctual. Is it wrong to build community without a strategy in mind?Love you lots, thanks for listening! Sloane Get on the email list at freemoney.substack.com

HodlCast Episode 83 features Izabella Kaminska, the Editor of the Financial Times’ Alphaville blog. We discussed one of Izabella's recent articles: https://ftalphaville.ft.com/2019/07/03/1562126415000/Why-dealing-with-fintechs-is-a-bit-like-dealing-with-pirates/ During the podcast we discussed the history of money, the BIS, the central banking system, shadow banking, emerging technology like Alipay, wechat, and cryptocurrencies. We also discussed the possible ramifications of Facebook's Libra project. Izabella Kaminska is the editor of FT Alphaville. She joined FT Alphaville in October 2008, which was, perhaps, the best time in the world to become a financial blogger. (Added bonus: there was a free breakfast trolly.) Before that she worked as a producer at CNBC, a natural gas reporter at Platts and an associate editor of BP’s internal magazine. She has also worked as a reporter on English language business papers in Poland and Azerbaijan and was a Reuters graduate trainee in 2004. Everything she knows about economics stems from a childhood fascination with ancient economies, specifically the agrarian land reforms of the early Roman republic and the coinage and price stability reforms of late Roman emperors. Her favourite emperor is one Gaius Aurelius Valerius Diocletian. She studied Ancient History at UCL and has a masters in Journalism from what was then the London College of Printing. And yes, she is also a second-generation West London Pole (who likes mushroom picking, bigos and pierogi). izabella.kaminska@ft.com @izakaminska

We talk hodling, panic selling, and why each successive crash in your own crypto history is easier (and funnier?) than the last with professional poker player and actor Doug Kim. @SweetJustice Just Doug on Facebook Watch 6:54 @Matthew_D_Green 27:27 Zoin (ZOI) 28:34 "A Theory About the Recent Crypto Price Plunge" (Matthew C.

In this episode: David and Simon are joined by the FT Alphaville's Kadhim Shubber, Fidor's Sophie Guibaud and Pete Townsend of Norio Ventures to discuss the top news stories of the last week. First up we discuss THAT Apple launch, how Apple's P2P capabilities are a little underwhelming, how Venmo's attempt to fight back against Apple Pay involves a very ugly debit card, and sticking with the theme we discuss Zelle's P2P mobile payments app that recently launched and what it means when banks club together to innovate. They also discuss whether fintech really is the fastest growing industry in the US, what it means for Jamie Dimon to slam bitcoin, is he just wrong or is it a distraction to cover up something else? Finally, they take on Monzo letting their customers decide fees for using ATMs abroad, whether 30% of bank jobs will be gone in 5 years as the CEO of Pandit claimed, and ANZ's restructuring to create 150 "startups", it sounds like nonsense but are they the first traditional bank to really understand how to be agile? Also on the show we have an exclusive interview with digital receipting startup Flux alongside Megan Cawood of Starling, all about their recent partnership and launch on Starling's Marketplace. Enjoy the show! Spread the word, tell your friends and don't forget to leave us a review on iTunes! If you want to get in touch, drop us a line at podcasts@11fs.com or on Twitter @FintechInsiders.

Matt Klein is a columnist for the Financial Times and blogger at FT Alphaville. Today, he joins the show to discuss his work on the Eurozone, optimal currency areas, and safe assets. David and Matt examine the monetary policy problems and debt burdens facing the Eurozone area and Greece, in particular. They also chat about the possibility of the United States becoming less of an optimal currency, which would make Fed policy more challenging.

Liebe Hörerinnen, Liebe Hörer, die Mikroökonomen sind ein unabhängiger Podcast über Wirtschaft, der, wenn die Zeit vorhanden ist, bemüht ist die Themen auszurecherchieren. Wir wollen keine Werbung machen und dauerhaft ein unabhängiges Informationsangebot aufbauen, dass die Dinge anders macht. Möglich wird dies erst durch Euch. Vielen Dank dafür! http://mikrooekonomen.de/unterstuetzung/ *** Marco fragt das ZDF - Was denn wohl die Anfragen der besorgten bis wütenden Bürger das ZDF kosten mögen? *** Inflationsdesaster ... - Kaum taucht das Inflationsgespenst schemenhaft wieder auf, muss man sie anrufen: Die Inflationsghostbuster! (oder man bleibt einfach cool ...; unser Tipp!) - Makronom: Die Inflations-Ghostbuster sind zurück *** Brexometer - FT: Running commentary on the pound: presenting the ‘Brexometer’ (leider nur ein Link hinter der Paywall ...) -FT Alphaville (registration required, aber kostenlos): This exists *** Der chinesische Elefant - Auch China verbietet Ende 2017 Elfenbeinhandel NYT: China Joins the Fight to Save - Elephants Thailand "wäscht" illegales Elfenbein WWF: Elfenbeinhandel in Asien - Geparden ebenfalls stark bedroht Zeit: Der schnellste Jäger der Erde droht auszusterben *** Brewdog - Craftbrauerei Brewdog - Roulette für Anleger - Die Aktien sollten übrigens 47,50$ kosten, nicht 17$ (oder so), wie ich es im Kopf hatte. - Brewdog Homepage - Die 215 Brewdog Rezepte *** Feedback - Korrekturen Bitcoin - Zu Mikro030 - Ergänzung: Das hohe Bitcoin-Handelsvolumen in China gilt in der Community als Fake-Volumen, wir verstehen allerdings nicht genau, warum dieses Volumen entsteht (Arbitrage?) - Korrektur: Von der Angebotsseite her gibt es keinen Regelmechanismus im Bitcoin-Algorithmus, der versucht, steigende Preise durch steigendes Angebot auszugleichen (ich sage einmal "Geldzufluss, wie ihn die Bitcoins in den letzten Monaten erlebt haben, wird über die Nachfrageseite nie ausgeglichen werden." Gemeint ist natürlich "Angebotsseite" und genau gemeint ist "durch mehr und schneller erzeugte neue Bitcoins"). - Ergänzung: Starke Kursschwanken bei Bitcoins sind für den Händler kein Problem, weil Händler über Dienstleister eigentlich nie Bitcoins annehmen, sondern der Dienstleister die Bitcoins sofort wieder als "normale" Währung wie den Euro gut schreiben. - Ich schweife ab: (Derivate-)Clearinghaus DTCC will auf Blockchain-Technologie setzen ... Inside-it: Blockchain soll der Wall Street Kosten im Derivate-Handel sparen *** Bier - Marco: Fuller's Vintage Ale 2016 - Ich passe ... - FAZ Bog Reinheitsgebot: Klares Bier verdirbt das Reinheitsgebot *** Pick - Ulrich: FG032 Hochschule und Zivilgesellschaft.
