    410: Keeping tabs on digital infrastructure
    May 28 2026

    On this week’s episode of L&G Talks Asset Management, we sit down
    with Achal Arora, Managing Director of Digital Infrastructure
    Investments.

    With digital infrastructure increasingly being seen as critical to
    modern economies, Achal runs down some of the ongoing trends in the
    sector and how investors should understand present dynamics.

    Among topics discussed are the influence of artificial intelligence,
    reasons for a current focus on data centres and why clean power
    infrastructure and digital infrastructure are converging.

    409: Systematic solutions: meet the team behind the strategies

    • Elena Cardella, Head of Index & ETFs Investment Specialists
    • Boyang Liu, Head of Systematic Solutions
    • Raj Shah, Senior Quant & Factor Strategist - Index Solutions.

    405: Do charities suffer from money illusion?
    May 14 2026

    Money illusion is one of the most common behavioural biases and with nearly £30 billion held in cash, are UK charities assuming that the most cautious investment is also the safest choice?

    L&G’s Nancy Kilpatrick, Head of Charities and Andrzej Pioch, Fund Manager and the Head of Risk Targeted Funds explore the risks that may be hiding in plain sight: the risk of holding too much cash, what that actually costs charities and how Trustees could be thinking about their investments.

    They discuss:

    • The scale and risks of the cash challenge
    • Practical first steps that Trustees can take to put their reserves to work
    • How recent volatility and macro events have highlighted potential concentration risk

    This podcast is hosted by Sarka Halas, Content Manager, and was recorded on 30 March 2026.
