It's been a steady but packed start to a jam-packed year for the GLOBAL economy and for various industries too. We're joined yet again by our resident equity and crypto experts respectively, Dylan and Jeremy, for a another iteration of our monthly recap episodes!
It's been an important month for politics, countries and markets in January, so after kicking the episode off with some key macro data from the US and UK economies, we then dive into a VERY detailed look at the impact of Trump's inauguration and his subsequent executive orders, plus some of Trump's future plans and their impact on markets.
Then into some more niche news, covering some bank earnings from the tailend of 2024 and the tone it sets for financial stocks in 2025! As well as covering a plethora of crypto news culminating in a major update on Ethereum. And we had to make sure to cover the news and issues with TikTok and Congress!

Welcome to the forty-fifth episode of Dumb Money! 🔥
Chatting to a VERY accomplished fellow student... 💪🏼
For this week's edition, and for the first time in a long while, we were joined by a fellow aspiring finance professional and SUPER accomplished student, Karun Kirubananthan! Karun is a current Bachelor’s student at the coveted University of Cambridge studying Economics, and is VERY keen to enter the financial services industry and has a passion for Quantitative Finance too, but has a plethora of experiences both within and outside of that division!
To name a few, he’s been a Spring Intern at Standard Chartered, Citadel, Optiver and Goldman Sachs, and an AI and Investments Summer Intern at AJ Bell. And most recently, a Quantitative Trading Summer Intern at Chicago Trading Company.
Again, we don’t usually feature accomplished students on the podcast, but Karun’s journey is both fascinating and inspiring so we genuinely couldn't wait to delve into all the nooks and crannies of his chosen career path! Starting from his childhood interests, to then how he fell into Quantitative Finance, breaking down his professional experiences, and finishing off with some tips for fellow students and his plans for the near future! 💰As always, stay tuned to us weekly as we bring you riveting conversations, professional guests and a few laughs! 💚

A journey full of searching for and GRASPING opportunities... 🤩
For this week's episode of Dumb Money, it was a genuine honour to welcome Jack Leversidge onto the show! Jack is currently a Debt Capital Markets analyst at MUFG, a leading global financial services group and one of the largest banking institutions in Japan. So, while he's only been enveloped in the industry for a couple of years, he shares some really unique and valued insights!
A bit more about Jack, he graduated in 2023 with a First Class Bachelors Degree from Northumbria University in Finance and Investment Management. And during his undergraduate course, he secured an Industrial Placement at UBS in Asset Management, as well as a Summer Role at MUFG in DCM which he then successfully converted to his current role now.
With a lot of our professional guests, it's been a while since they were a student but with Jack, we were really looking forward to touching on his experiences both in education and within the financial services industry. And that we did! Starting with some pivotal moments from childhood, all the way to application stress, job autonomy and tips for aspiring finance students, this episode really has it all! 💰As always, stay tuned to us weekly as we bring you riveting conversations, professional guests and a few laughs! 💚

Welcome to the forty-third episode of Dumb Money! 🔥
The FIRST Dumb Money episode of 2025... 🫡
To start off the year strongly, we're delighted to be hosting Sharon Rai on the show! Sharon is a qualified Executive Leadership Coach, with a background in economic development, and consistently operating at the most senior levels within organisations. Having worked with Investment Promotion Agencies around the world, and hundreds of high growth firms, she has in-depth understanding and experience of supporting businesses to grow nationwide!
And that's why it was amazing to have such a nuanced conversation with Sharon, mainly due to her plethora of experience OUTSIDE of finance as much as WITHIN the industry! We always like to start the episode by delving into her experiences growing up and how she first started thinking of finance, but then we really get into some great value for all our listeners and viewers!
We dive into into her current field including all the multiple hats she wears day-to-day, and then we discuss some pertinent points like day structure, stress, skills and balance. Sharon consistently drops some really GOLDEN nuggets about finance, success and just life in general throughout this episode! Definitely not one to miss! 💰As always, stay tuned to us weekly as we bring you riveting conversations, professional guests and a few laughs! 💚

Welcome to the forty-second episode of Dumb Money! 🔥
The LAST Dumb Money episode of this year... 😞
We could not be more grateful for how far we've come and this truly shows through our immense plans for the future, even outside of just the podcast! And, as we always say, we're not stopping anytime soon with the insane quality of guests that we interview, and this week's episode is no exception!
To finish off the year with a bang, we're joined by Bhavick Patel! Bhavick is the current UK Head of ETF & Indexing Sales at HSBC Asset Management. Before working at HSBC, he spent four years at Invesco and was at Blackrock for five years with the iShares sales team covering advisers, asset managers and private banks. But he began his career at Morgan Stanley, where he spent two years managing collateral on equity and fixed income derivative portfolios.
It really was such an honour to host such an esteemed and SENIOR guest, but we did not shy away from asking those pertinent questions! From pivotal moments during his childhood while working for his family business, to studying Economics at Royal Holloway and then deciding to pursue a career in elite financial services! We even briefly touch on his PERSONAL opinions on some key investment themes going into 2025 before closing things off with some crucial tips for students! As usual, see you again next YEAR for another episode of Dumb Money! 💰As always, stay tuned to us weekly as we bring you riveting conversations, professional guests and a few laughs! 💚

Welcome to the forty-first episode of Dumb Money! 🔥
The FINAL economic recap episode of 2024... 🤯
It really has been an insane year for the GLOBAL economy and for various industries too. So, thankfully, we're joined again by our resident crypto and equity experts respectively, Jeremy and Dylan, for a slightly different iteration of our monthly recap episodes. It's been an important month for markets in December, so we kick the episode off with some important macro data from the US and UK, as well as a more detailed look at the recent interest rate decisions and their potential fallout.
Then into some more niche news, covering some important metrics from the cryptocurrency world, as well as a dive into some US equity performance, and Jeremy even shares some high-level thoughts on some potential trades for Q1 of 2025! But for the latter half of this episode, we have a look at 2024 as a whole, and we all break down some of our favourite stories from the year, ranging from China's surprise stimulus to even talks on the BTC ETF approval! 💰As always, stay tuned to us weekly as we bring you riveting conversations, professional guests and a few laughs! 💚

Welcome to the fortieth episode of Dumb Money! 🔥
Somehow, we’ve made it to ANOTHER milestone episode of Dumb Money, and after multiple interviews with senior finance professionals, we decided to go back to our roots with this week's episode... 🗣️
It was a genuine honour for us to welcome Nooruz Zaman (Mr Zaman to us), our former GCSE Business and A-Level Economics teacher, onto the show! It is without doubt that he was our first insight into the significance of the economy in today's day and age, and subsequently, it kickstarted thoughts about the financial services industry. So, it’s safe to say without him, we probably wouldn’t be CLOSE to where we are today.
Now, just like the guest, this episode is unlike our usual ones. Instead of discussing breaking into finance and even tips for applications, we talk about Mr Zaman's educational journey and formative years, his distinct and prolonged love for travelling, some views on current commercial events, and even a brief insight into what it's like teaching Economics on a daily basis. And we make sure to finish off with some unique tips for aspiring students! 💰As always, stay tuned to us weekly as we bring you riveting conversations, professional guests and a few laughs! 💚

She spent over 16 years as a results-oriented executive within the financial services sector, specialising in Private Debt and was also the COO and co-founder of a disruptive SaaS fintech venture!
It's one of THE most fascinating stories we've covered on the show so far, but as usual we start off by delving into Sharika's formative years and how her interest in finance really kicked off. Before getting into her roles within financial services and even FinTech, as well as how travelling the world fast-tracked her decision to become a children's book author! We even finish off with her perspective on the GFC and some tips for students! 💰As always, stay tuned to us weekly as we bring you riveting conversations, professional guests and a few laughs! 💚

Welcome to the thirty-seventh episode of Dumb Money! 🔥
Nearing close to the end of another month and it's time for another recap... 🗣️
Our resident crypto and equity experts respectively, Jeremy and Dylan, join us again for a SPECIAL edition of our regular monthly economic recap episodes. While there's been a lot happening in markets this month, we thought it'd be prudent to go through the two MAIN events that have really shaken up investors. And of course, what we're talking about is the recently released UK Budget and the potentially controversial US Election!
So, we really break these key macro events down. With talks on our personal speculations before official announcements were made, and then getting into the timelines of these events from what led to certain decisions to likely outcomes in the future. But also, we get into some aspects that we overlooked in previous episodes, like specific revamped measures in the Budget and crucial moments like debates and policies that might have gifted Trump the win. All this and more in this week's episode of Dumb Money! 💰As always, stay tuned to us weekly as we bring you riveting conversations, professional guests and a few laughs! 💚

We're extremely privileged to be joined by Carlo Weaver, the CEO of Apprentago, an early careers technology platform focused on helping students, employers, and training providers with apprenticeships.
