Today we have a special episode breaking down how investors are using AI. This is a question I get from many of you, and while there is no shortage of content on the implications of AI, I know there's an appetite to learn more about tangible use cases, how to make sure you're getting the most out of these tools, how to think about advancements in the technology, and ensuring that you're keeping pace with the innovation curve. So my guest today is David Plon, Founder of Portrait Analytics. Now, David and Portrait have been partners of Business Breakdowns since last year, but I specifically asked David to do this episode because, one, he is really front and center to how investors are using and applying AI. But two, and maybe more importantly, he and his team come with a background in investing. So while the conversation doesn't really focus on Portrait, you'll hear references to what he and his team are building and how they've shaped it for investors, you'll very much understand when you hear David talk that he is someone who understands the pain points of an investor. I think everyone will find something in this episode that will benefit them in their day to day, and I would love to hear the feedback. For the full show notes, transcript, and links to the best content to learn more, check out the episode page here. — This episode is brought to you by Portrait Analytics - your centralized resource for AI-powered idea generation, thesis monitoring, and personalized report building.

As we close out 2025, this episode is about the three critical decisions that will position you to make next year truly extraordinary. Whether you're listening in those strange days between Christmas and New Year, or you're one of those brilliant people who switches off completely until January 5th, these decisions are for you to make... If you have a vision for your life and business that's bigger than feels comfortable to admit out loud, this episode is going to challenge you in allllll the right ways. The Three Decisions: Decision 1: To Uplevel Your IdentityThis isn't about affirmations or visualisation... it's about who you're actually being, not just what you're thinking. Your current business - everything it is and isn't - is an exact match for who you've been being up until now. If you're not getting the clients you want, it's because the woman you've been being isn't the woman who works with those clients. If you're not charging what you're worth, it's because the woman you've been being doesn't believe she's worth it. The uncomfortable truth? You can't grow your business beyond who you are being. So who do you need to become to hold the vision you have for 2026? Decision 2: Say No to MisalignmentEvery yes to something that doesn't align with your values or vision is a no to something that does. You can't make space for what's next if you're holding on to what no longer serves you. This isn't about being ruthless, it's about being intentional. It's about honouring yourself enough to protect your energy, your time, and your focus for what actually matters. What are you tolerating that's keeping you small? Decision 3: Invest in YourselfGrowth requires investment. You know the difference between genuinely not being able to invest responsibly and using money as a comfortable excuse to avoid growth. What investment do you need to make in 2026? A mentor? A mastermind? Training that would give you the skills to deliver at the level you want? Someone to help you do the deep identity work? Write down what you need. Then write down all your reasons for not doing it yet. Read them back and ask yourself: are these the thoughts of the woman I decided to become? Your Action Steps:For each decision, make one concrete move: Identity: Write a detailed description of the woman you're becoming. Choose one action that woman would take that terrifies the woman you've been being. Then take it. Saying No: Identify one thing you're currently doing that's misaligned and start thinking about your exit strategy. Investment: Research the investment you know you need to make. Book the discovery call. Request the proposal. Look at your finances and figure out how you'll invest in yourself in 2026. Don't wait for perfect clarity. Don't wait to feel ready. Just make the decision. Want to Work With Me in 2026?If you need someone to help you become the woman who can build the legacy business you're dreaming of, let's talk.

The battle between active and passive managers has been going in earnest for over a decade now, and the passive machines are winning. In this Deep Dive, Laith Khalaf and Dan Coatsworth explore the active and passive fund landscape, and ask if there is a way back for active fund managers. Dan and Laith discuss why passive funds have become so popular and share some stats on fund flows and figures from AJ Bell's Manager versus Machine report, which pits active and passive funds against each other. [01:01] Laith catches up with Craig Baker who chairs the investment committee for Alliance Witan, one of the biggest investment trusts in the UK, to find out why they have chosen a distinctive active investment strategy and how it's been performing. [22:28] Paul Angel, Head of Investment Research at AJ Bell joins Dan and Laith to talk about how to pick active and passive funds. [34:05] Paul, Dan and Laith discuss whether the rise of passive funds is bad for the stockmarket and consider the future of active management. [48:17]
Matthew Timpane, senior market strategist at Schaeffer's Investment Research, says the stock market is entering "the most bullish season of the year," and the bears missed the chance for a big pullback once the market got past mid-October. Now he expects the market to grind higher for the rest of the year, but he notes that things may change once the holiday buzz changes and 2026 moves forward. Stuart Katz, chief investment officer at Robertson Stephens, says that rate cuts will make cash less attractive, which will push a lot of money that has been on the sidelines up the risk spectrum, and he discusses the areas of the bond market that he thinks are poised to benefit from that moving money, as well as the market sectors that he thinks will have leadership in a market that will be up against slowing economic activity. In the Market Call, Peter Krull, director of sustainable investing, for Earth Equity Advisors — author of the new book, "The Sustainable Investor: Responsible, Impactful, and Values-Driven Investing Strategies and Practices for Financial Professionals" — talks about investing within one's values ad how he decides which stocks make that cut for him

In this episode of Critical Thinking, Jo Holden, Global Head of Investment Research and Advisory at Mercer, is joined by Leslie Maasdorp, CEO at British International Investment (BII) and Matt Robinson, Head of Private Capital Mobilisation at BII, to explore the world of development finance institutions (DFIs), capital mobilisation, and how DFIs can open up new investment opportunities for institutional investors in emerging markets and developing markets (EMDEs).Investment flows into EMDEs remain far below the levels needed to support development and combat climate change. The Independent High-Level Expert Group (IHLEG) on Climate Finance estimates that these countries, excluding China, will require $1 trillion annually by 2030, rising to $1.3 trillion by 2035. While these regions offer diversification benefits and strong impact potential, global investors often perceive them as too high risk, with current flows only just surpassing $100 billion annually. Bridging this gap will require a strategic blend of public and private investment.Key takeaways include:What is meant by mobilisation and why it matters: Mobilisation refers to attracting and effectively deploying private capital alongside DFIs to increase investment in markets that typically do not meet institutional investors' risk/return profiles. Mobilisation is essential in scaling climate action within EMDEs, where climate change effects are most severe. This need for partnership was underscored by the UK Prime Minister's announcement of a £100 million Mobilisation Facility, managed by BII, to facilitate private investment in EMDEs. With EDME's expected to play a crucial role in global economic growth, investing in these markets creates investment opportunities for growth, diversification and impact.How this facility addresses some of the challenges investors face when considering investment in these markets: As BII's first concessional mandate that offers derisking opportunity for third-party investors, the facility plays a critical role in bridging the 'relative value gap' between institutional investors' risk appetite and the risk profile of BII's portfolio. By offering significant risk mitigation, it encourages greater investor participation-essential for achieving climate impact at scale. A key feature of the facility is its high-risk tolerance- with BII's capital able to absorb potential capital erosion, reducing downside risks for institutional investors.The type of risks that this facility will help mitigate and the investments this will open up to institutional investors: BII will accept below-market returns to boost private investor returns or provide credit enhancements through guarantees or insurance, helping to de-risk investments without distorting the underlying market. This will enable institutional investors to test, seed, and scale climate-focused technologies, businesses, and investment strategies with transformational impact across Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean.This content is for institutional investors and for information purposes only.

Designing a robust portfolio requires considerable expertise, data, and experience. And while there are plenty of published articles that can guide how you build your portfolio, they are not investment solutions by themselves. Wei Dai is the Head of Investment Research and Vice President at Dimensional Fund Advisors, and she joins us today for a comprehensive and informative conversation on portfolio design for higher returns. Her background includes a Doctor of Philosophy degree in Statistics, Operations research, and Financial Engineering from Princeton. She has also earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics and applied mathematics from Zhejiang University. Her work has been published in multiple journals, including The Financial Analysts Journal. She has also collaborated on articles with esteemed figures such as Professor Robert C. Merton and Robert Novy-Marx. In our conversation with Wei, we explore the contents of these articles, key findings from research conducted by Dimensional Fund Advisors, and how they are implementing this knowledge in their portfolios. We discuss the fundamental aspects of portfolio design, like expected return, risk, and costs, with Wei providing a detailed breakdown of each subject. There's a lot to be learned from today's conversation, and while things get pretty technical, you are in very capable hands! Tune in for a fascinating dive into the latest research on portfolio design and much more.
