Majedie Investments PLC (LSE:MAJE) manager Dan Higgins takes Proactive's Stephen Gunnion through the investment trust's unique investment strategy and its appeal to shareholders seeking diversified, long-term returns. Higgins outlined Majedie's three complementary strategies: external managers, direct investments, and special investments. He explained that external managers make up around 60% of the portfolio, with allocations to specialist equity and credit strategies, including mid-cap biotech, Japan small cap activism, and stressed debt. “Most of the managers that we allocate to are completely off the radar screen of other investors,” Higgins said. Direct investments involve a concentrated selection of 10 to 12 stocks, primarily in Europe, the UK, and Asia, focusing on quality growth companies that are not widely held elsewhere. Special investments, the most differentiated component, involve co-investing alongside trusted partners in high-conviction opportunities such as activist positions in Shake Shack, distressed debt in Metro Bank, and equity positions in CVS Corporation. Higgins also described Majedie's ‘liquid endowment' philosophy, emphasising long-term, fundamental investing without relying on illiquid assets like private equity or real estate. He stressed that Majedie is fully aligned with shareholders, with management incentivised through market capitalisation and holding personal investments in the trust.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Anthony Thomson, who also goes by his initials “AT”. Anthony is a marketing professional who transitioned into entrepreneurial banking with one key belief: the power of data to create opportunity. Athony tells us a heartwarming story about a Metro Bank initiative that made banking exciting for kids: coin-counting machines that turned their loose change into a guessing game with prizes. This is a conversation about how small innovations can make a big difference and how Anthony has brought that mindset into his incredible career evolution. Anthony is at heart, a marketer, who believes passionately that profit should be the by-product of giving the customer a better product, service or experience. He has built, scaled and exited multi-million-dollar fintech businesses in the UK and Australia. He is currently co-founder and chair of archie, a global growth accelerator for fintechs, a non-executive director of Wio Bank in the UAE and ekko A UK based international business that empowers financial services companies to integrate sustainability. Previously, Anthony was Founder and CEO of Europe's largest financial services specialist agency, which sold to Publicis. He was also the Founder and former chairman of two of the UK's leading challenger banks, Metro Bank (with a market cap of over $5 billion) and atom bank (with a market cap of over $1 billion), and the co-Founder and chair of 86 400, Australia's first smart bank (acquired by National Australia Bank for over $440m). He is co-author (with Lucian Camp) of No small change, why financial services needs better marketing, published by Wiley. From 2011 to 2014 he served as visiting professor to London Metropolitan University Business School. He also served as the David Goldman Visiting Professor of business innovation and enterprise at Newcastle University Business School from 2017 to 2018. When he's not working, Anthony collects wine and guitars and races cars. Not all at the same time.

With Christmas and New Year fast approaching, the AccountingWEB team reunites for their final podcast of 2024, reflecting on the year's biggest stories. They kick off with the 20-year Post Office scandal, which gained renewed attention in 2024 after the ITV drama Mr Bates vs The Post Office. The team discusses ongoing lessons and why it's important to keep this issue in focus. Next, they tackle HMRC's pattern of U-turns, including this year's reversals on double cab pickups and helpline cuts, sharing what these shifts reveal about HMRC's direction. The conversation turns to major anti-money laundering (AML) failures, such as Metro Bank's £16.7m fine and the accountant who faked being an auditor for 34 years. The team questions why AML continues to be an issue and whether things will change. General election highlights and two budgets – Jeremy Hunt's Spring Budget and Rachel Reeves's inaugural Autumn Budget – also feature, with their impact being examined. Finally, Richard Hattersley and Tom Herbert share bold predictions for 2025, exploring where the accounting profession might head in the coming year.

In This Episode Regular listeners of Breaking Banks are likely familiar with the Killing It series, hosted by Jason Henrichs and Alex Johnson, where they explore candid stories of success, failure, and the pivotal and sometimes tough decisions that drive the journey from VCs to unicorns in the high stakes world of entrepreneurship. (If you're not, check it out!) In this episode, Brett King shifts gears with a “Starting It” theme, sitting down with industry veteran Anthony Thomson —an entrepreneur, marketer, speaker, author, and founder of Metro Bank, Atom, and 86 400. Metro Bank challenged traditional banking in the UK, while Atom and 86 400 brought innovation as neo-banks in different markets, with 86 400 later acquired by NAB (National Australia Bank) and then merged into UBank. Join this enlightening discussion as Brett and Anthony dive into the unique missions and lessons behind each of these groundbreaking ventures. And who knows? You might even get a sneak peek at the next big breakthrough in the industry! 

Kicking off the podcast is news that TaxCalc has landed a major investment from private equity firm Symphony Technology Group (STG). Tom Herbert discusses TaxCalc's history, what we know about STG, what's next for TaxCalc and the state of the accounting software market. Richard Hattersley shares tales from his time at the Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB) Summit. He tells all about how the event was, some of the big headlines like MTD, its focus on the future and what this means for bookkeeping. Lastly, Matthew Ord reveals some anti-money laundering (AML) woes, specifically Metro Bank which has been hit with a £16.7m fine for failing to monitor potential AML activities. The team questions why companies are still not using the right processes and procedures.

In this special highlights episode, Ishreen takes listeners on a compelling journey through the transformative landscape of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). She discusses the powerful benefits organisations can reap from embracing DEIB as an integral part of organisational culture, including enhanced creativity, employee loyalty, and cultural awareness. Ishreen also addresses the uncomfortable reality of organisations that actively oppose DEIB and poses challenging questions about accountability.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Ishreen emphasizes the need to shift diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) from a compliance-driven checkbox to an integral part of organizational culture, promoting a mindset of shared responsibility. This new approach focuses on creating real opportunities and fostering community engagement, as exemplified by Metro Bank's partnership with the English and Wales Cricket Board, which aims to support women and girls in cricket. Organizations can gain ten powerful benefits from embracing integral DEIB, including improved creativity, decision-making, employee loyalty, and cultural awareness. However, many companies are still not fully utilizing these benefits due to outdated compliance-led approaches. The evolution of DEIB requires a cultural shift where every employee feels they belong, moving beyond mere targets for diverse hires to creating an environment of inclusivity and support. Ishreen raises the question of whether companies that actively oppose DEIB should be named and shamed, highlighting the importance of accountability in the pursuit of meaningful change in the face of resistance. BEST MOMENTS "What if we could reframe DEIB to benefit everyone?" "It's not about avoiding getting caught. It's about fundamentally shifting mindsets and embracing a culture of shared responsibility and growth." "DEIB isn't just good for humanity, it's good for business." "Should we name and shame these companies? Should they be held to account for their retrogressive actions?" "It's time to stop viewing DEIB as an optional add-on. It needs to be integral, unshakable."

In this episode, Ishreen introduces the concept of DEIB 3.0, a transformative approach to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging in the workplace. Highlighting a collaboration with Metro Bank, she shares insights on their purpose-led partnership with the England and Wales Cricket Board, aimed at increasing female participation in cricket through the Women and Girls Fund. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ishreen introduces DEIB 3.0, a new approach to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging that aims to create inclusive cultures where employees feel valued and connected to a shared purpose. The current backlash against DEIB initiatives is attributed to resistance from existing power structures, particularly among white men who perceive these initiatives as biased against them. A shift in focus is needed to move towards a win-win dynamic. Metro Bank is highlighted as a collaborator in the DEIB 3.0 movement, showcasing their partnership with the England and Wales Cricket Board to promote women and girls in cricket through a co-developed Women and Girls Fund. The partnership between Metro Bank and the ECB is structured as a six-year commitment, emphasizing the importance of time in making meaningful and lasting changes at the grassroots level. DEIB 3.0 emphasizes collaboration, innovation, and a data-led approach to identify focus areas, ensuring that initiatives deliver social benefits while also achieving return on investment (ROI) targets for all stakeholders involved. BEST MOMENTS "We wanted to make sure we were taking the time on how we develop the Women and Girls Fund." "We didn't want just any sort of traditional sponsorship. We were really looking for a partnership that was centered around true purpose." "To really make any meaningful impact at a grassroots level, it takes time." "An over-focus on representation at the cost of equity, inclusion, and belonging is what set up this win-lose dynamic." "DEIB 3.0 aims to move DIB from a conversation that has a win-lose dynamic to a win-win approach."

The FTSE 100 jumped at the open, buoyed by strong results from Natwest and Rightmove and shrugging off a tech-sector sell-off in the US that carried through to the Asian markets this morning. In the first half hour of trade, the blue-chip index added three-quarters of a percent to 8,248. NatWest's shares jumped close to 7% after it said it expects full-year income to be ahead of its original forecast after a strong first-half performance, with the second quarter seeing close to every key metric beating guidance. Meanwhile, Metro Bank lifted 3% after it confirmed the sale of its residential mortgage book to NatWest. It comes as Metro looks to streamline its balance sheet and "enhance risk-adjusted returns on capital". Rightmove was also a top riser this morning, up close to 4%, after it backed its guidance in the face of tougher market conditions in the housing sector. Despite homeowners facing higher borrowing costs, the online real estate platform still expects high single-digit revenue growth, helped as listings are currently booming. #proactiveinvestors #marketreport #ftse #ftse100 #footsie #natwest #metrobank #rightmove #invest #investing #investment #investor #stockmarket #stocks #stock #stockmarketnews

The latest trends in the economy and the world of finance:Treasury yields surge (What it means for YOU)Recession insights IMF global growth forecast ECB calls out Euro-governments Country Garden in trouble (again).Metro Bank FinWeekly has all the details on trending market and financial news this week: In the world of finance, US Treasury yields have recently shot up, reaching levels not seen since the 2007 global financial crisis. While this may raise concerns, economists at Goldman Sachs believe it's not necessarily a sign of an imminent recession. Lorie Logan, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, even suggests that the increase in long-term Treasury yields could potentially help slow down further interest rate hikes. Meanwhile, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has adjusted its global economic growth forecasts downward, with the exception of the United States, which is expected to remain stable. On a different note, Euro-area governments are not aligning their fiscal policies with the European Central Bank's efforts to control inflation, raising concerns. Furthermore, Caius Capital and other creditors have made a significant move to strengthen Metro Bank's financial position through a bond sale, while China's Country Garden faces financial instability due to missed interest payments. These developments provide a complex snapshot of the global economic landscape.Helpful links:Free 3-Day Trial!

Inflation is easing, food prices are coming down from their peak and the energy price cap dropped last weekend. But you are still paying around 10 per cent more for your groceries now than last year, petrol prices are rising, mortgage rates are still high, and you may end up paying more for your gas and electricity this winter too. But how is that possible? This week, Angharad Carrick, Georgie Frost, Lee Boyce and Helen Crane tackle energy bills and look at who might be paying more in the next three months. And when it comes to water bills, some firms are looking at charging 44 per cent more over the next seven years. Why? Crane on the Case this week tackles a parking charge issued after someone waited too long in a McDonald's drive-thru queue. Despite that, Helen managed to get a positive result – but why are so many parking charges being dished out every day, and where is the promised government help to stop it happening. Lee gives you a run through of another busy week in the world of savings and banking. NS&I has pulled its best buy one year fix paying 6.2 per cent; NatWest has a secret top 5.2 per cent easy-access deal; Moneybox is offering the top cash Isa of 5 per cent; and Starling Bank is now offering to pay you for having a current account. It's also been a hairy week for Metro Bank – but we explain why FSCS has you covered. And finally…the list of the UK's 'perfect' retirement locations has been revealed - and there are some surprising names on it, including the Outer Hebrides. Consumer group Which? has taken retirees' wish-lists for their later-life locations to work out its own grouping of the 12 top places to spend your golden years. But does it tally up to what you think is a perfect retirement location?
