The latest episode of Insight Talks is now available, featuring James Tulloch, Head of Investment Specialists, in conversation with Isabel Albarran, Investment Officer, Bespoke Investment Office. 

Two significant events frame this month’s discussion. James and Isabel begin with the UK Budget, assessing whether a relatively limited package has provided enough breathing space without unsettling bond markets. 

They examine the pressure on the public finances, including the effect of higher inflation and bond yields on fiscal headroom. The conversation also looks ahead to the spending review, where defence commitments, protected budgets and real-terms pressures could force more difficult choices. 

The discussion then turns to growth and monetary policy. UK activity has proved more resilient than expected, but that strength may also make inflation more persistent and keep interest rates higher for longer. 

Across the Atlantic, James and Isabel consider the Democrats’ success in the US midterm elections. They assess the prospect of political gridlock, the continuing reach of presidential executive powers and the potential implications for fiscal policy and markets. 

The episode concludes with the sectors most exposed to this change in political direction, including AI and data centres, healthcare and financial services, alongside the geopolitical and economic factors investors should monitor.
