Funds to Watch Spring
Journalist and broadcaster Matt Frei joined us at Incisive Media’s annual Funds to Watch Spring event today. Matt’s session examined the shifting geopolitical landscape, from the war in Iran and Ukraine to the growing strategic challenge posed by China. He also discussed Donald Trump’s positioning on tariffs and Greenland, and the implications for global stability. The conversation explored Europe’s response, the UK’s role under Keir Starmer, and whether today’s turbulence signals a deeper realignment of global power.
F&C Live
The F&C Investment Trust is the world’s longest running collective investment vehicle of its kind, helping investors since 1868 and created to bring investing to the masses. The 2026 F&C Live event is focusing on The long view: Resilience in an age of upheaval, examining the ways in which economies and societies are adjusting after years of disruption, and what this resilience means to today’s investors. In this edition of the bi-annual event, we’ve been joined by leading macro-economist Paul Johnson, and futurist Sophie Hackford. Between them the duo have touched upon hot topics including robotics, AI, astro-tech, demographic change, taxation in the UK, and inter-generational wealth.
Premier Miton Investment Conference 2026
We’re delighted to be back onsite with the Premier Miton team. Later today we’ll be joined by Lord Kim Darroch. His 40+ years in the diplomatic service saw him specialise in European policy and national security issues, including two spells in No 10, and culminating in postings as Ambassador to the European Union and Ambassador to the United States. As well as sharing an insider’s insights from his time working with Donald Trump in Washington, and what we can expect as he continues to dominate headlines across the world, Lord Darroch will delve into several key geopolitical themes. These will include the outlook for NATO, a potential ceasefire in Ukraine, the prospects for relations with China, the confrontation between America and Iran, the decline of free trade and the implications for the UK of the collapse of the international rules-based order.

We were at Janus Henderson’s offices today for our first event of the year, where we were delighted to welcome five-time Olympic gold medallist Sir Steve Redgrave.
