  • The best financial podcast for me

    Ramin & Michael deliver their podcast in an informative, chatty and engaging way. What I like most about Many Happy Returns is that the fundamental guidance is a low cost global all share tracker, automated actions such as regular investing. This advice is sound. However, Ramin’s explanations of the macro, sectors, tilts etc is where the entertainment is. I have been listening for many years now.

I tested them with a smaller deposit and was even able to withdraw at first. ... more

  • A weekly treat

    I’ve been tuning in every Wednesday for the last couple of years and my only criticism is that there’s only one per week. Fantastic choice of topics and great structure.

Rising Yields: Gilty Until Proven Innocent?
Q: What's the difference between RPI and CPI?
RPI includes housing costs and uses an arithmetic mean, typically yielding higher inflation readings, while CPI excludes housing costs and uses a geometric mean, leading to lower, internationally standardized figures; from 2030, inflation-linked gilts transition to CPI-H.
