How to navigate extreme valuations

A respected academic metric popularised by well-known economist Robert Shiller points to valuations for the US stock market being higher only once, during the dot.com boom and bust. Joining Kyle to explain what history suggests will potentially happen next is Ben Whitmore, manager of the TM Brickwood Global Value and TM Brickwood UK Value funds. Whitmore also provides his views on whether the AI theme has become overheated, explains how he approaches finding businesses on a discount while seeking to avoid value traps, and names some US and UK shares he’s viewing as opportunities.

Terry Smith’s overhaul: what’s behind it and what’s changed?

Terry Smith, arguably the most famous fund manager running money in Britain today, has abandoned his buy and hold “do nothing” strategy and carried out a major overhaul of the Fundsmith Equity portfolio. Joining Kyle to discuss this significant change and explain the reasons for it is Dave Baxter, senior fund content specialist at interactive investor. The duo consider Smith’s buys and sells, whether the style of the fund has changed, and whether portfolios in general are becoming too tech-heavy.

Why this investment type shouldn’t be ignored

Joining Kyle to cover all things bonds is Damien Hill, manager of BNY Mellon Responsible Horizons UK Corporate Bond.

How ISA tax rules are changing from April 2027

In a big shake-up to ISAs, it was recently announced that a new flat-rate charge of 22% will be applied on interest paid on cash within a stocks and shares ISA from the start of the next tax year on 6 April 2027. The change will be implemented at the same time as other previously flagged changes, including a lower cash ISA allowance of £12,000 for those under the age of 65, and a ban on transferring a stocks and shares ISA to a cash ISA. To unpick all the details, including what the rules say about money market funds, and to run through the implications for investors, Kyle is joined by Craig Rickman, personal finance editor at interactive investor.
