Welcome back everyone! Today, we discussed the following topics in what was a more reflective episode: a new UK Export Finance programme aiming to grant finance to companies importing minerals into the UK for manufacturing amidst a global trade war for rare earth minerals; Shroders being the first asset manager to setup a Long Term Asset Fund in the UK. We also embarked on a whistle-stop tour of the investment funds world and how law firms play a role in its daily activities; and how employees at Monzo may soon achieve millionaire status due to share incentive schemes setup by the company. This segment also focused on how startups incentivise both employees and investors to buy into their vision. I hope you enjoyed the episode!
