UK billionaire Michael Spencer joins Merryn this week to explain why he’s betting big on Nutshell Asset Management’s trading strategy. There isn’t much everyone agrees on in markets. But one thing you rarely hear an argument against is the importance of trading as little as possible. The higher your turnover, the higher your costs go and the worse your overall performance will be. So find good quality stocks you have faith in and hold them for the very long term—Warren Buffett or Nick Train style.Or maybe don’t. Spencer, the billionaire behind one of the world’s biggest financial brokerage fortune, says the low turnover story is old hat. There has been a change in market structure, he says, and trading costs today are “microscopic” compared with even a few years ago.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Merryn and Money Distilled newsletter author John Stepek talk about US activist investor Boaz Weinstein of Saba Capital and his high-profile attempt to unseat the boards of seven UK-listed investment trusts. Weinstein argues that a combination of weak three-year performance and too much tolerance of wide discounts means investors should welcome Saba's attentions; the boards argue that Saba is self-serving and that victory for the US investor would leave shareholders facing an uncertain future. "Everyone is right", concludes Merryn. But if you're a shareholder in any of these trusts, then what should you be doing about it?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ela chega aos compromissos mais cedo; eu, às vezes, atraso. Experimento coisas novas do cardápio; ela, sempre o mesmo. Numa galeria de arte, quando estou apenas começando, ela já está pronta. Damos um ao outro muitas oportunidades para praticar a paciência! Temos coisas em comum: senso de humor, amor por viagens e fé, que nos ajuda a orar por aquilo que é necessário. Com essa base compartilhada, nossas diferenças até funcionam a nosso favor. Minha esposa me ajudou a aprender a relaxar; eu lhe ensinei disciplina. Trabalhar com nossas diferenças nos tornou pessoas melhores. Paulo usa a metáfora do casamento para a igreja (Efésios 5:21-33). Como o casamento, a igreja reúne pessoas muito diferentes, exigindo que desenvolvam humildade e paciência e que “[tolerem] uns aos outros em amor” (4:2). E, como no casamento, uma base compartilhada de fé e serviço ajuda a igreja a se tornar unificada e madura (vv.11-13). As diferenças podem causar frustração — na igreja e no casamento. Mas bem administradas, podem nos ajudar a nos tornarmos mais semelhantes a Cristo. Por: Sheridan Voysey

If you had to invest all of your money into one of these assets, and hold it for the next 10 years, which would it be: Bitcoin or gold? In this week's episode, she makes that question the foundation for a conversation with Charlie Morris, chief investment officer and founder of ByteTree, and Alexander Chartres, a fund manager at Ruffer. The episode was taped in front of audience at the Bloomberg offices in London. Want to see Merryn live?
