Odds for Biden to take office for a second term have dropped by 32% since the live debate, while bets on Trump have been on the rise, says political betting site PredicIt.

We talk to Richard Power of Octopus Investments about investing in AIM shares to mitigate Inheritance Tax. AIM shares can be held in an ISA or as a standalone IHT portfolio. AIM-listed companies qualify for additional tax breaks in order to encourage people to invest in smaller UK growth companies. Octopus aims to put together a portfolio of these to provide investors with capital growth and also qualify from Business Relief (neither are guaranteed). What can an investor can expect from the Octopus approach? What makes this investment portfolio different from others?
