  • German TRAPist 🚀

    I’ve been listening to this podcast for about five months now, and it has been an incredible source of value for me. Even though I’m based in Germany, where some things are slightly different compared to the UK market, the core lessons and insights are universal – and I can apply them directly to my work as a financial planner.

    Last Wednesday at a conference, I had the chance to meet Alan Smith in person, together with his colleague Charles. Spending a whole day with them and getting to know th... more

  • I'm not an IFA (yet) but as someone with an interest in financial planning and investments I've been listening to TRAP for over a year, including the back episodes. The mix of discussion, information and (mostly) good natured banter, together with various recommendations for listening and reading from the Trap team has persuaded me that I should proceed to the the next stage in my journey so I am now studying for my RO1 to RO6 with a view to joining the industry. Keep up the good work guys!

  • Bloody good show

    I’ve been a financial planner for 29 years but I have learnt lots from this podcast. They may be irascible, irreverent and opinionated but most importantly they are passionate unapologetic and fun. I don’t agree with the twaddle they talk about annuities, ikea wardrobes and Jesus wept I’ll never thank nick for the month of my life lost to Atlas shrugged, but I am so glad I found this podcast and I’ve recommended it to many others…Keep going chaps you’re awesome

  • Essential listen for advisers

    This show deserves WAY more ratings and traction - it probably has to do with Apple’s review rating system which almost made me throw my laptop out the window….Anyway, the show is always packed with engaging and useful content and the links and further resources are gold - thanks to the TRAP pack, I’ve discovered gems such as Nick Murray, A Week in Charts, All In and much more. If you ever run out of contend ideas, as a former UK adviser now advising in Europe, I would be happy to defend the (ad... more

  • A beer-fuelled intergalactic spectacular

    A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse decided to boldly go forth where no Financial Adviser has been before - a Podcast. In creating TRAP, every fortnight they refresh the parts other Podcasts cannot reach, so I bet Alan, Andy, Carl and Nick all drink Carling Black label. If I didn’t know better, I would also say they are also all my fathers, but what I can say is that if Carlsberg did Podcasts, it would indeed be TRAP, probably the best podcast - in the... more
