Don't miss the mark(et): Why Private Markets matter now
In this episode of Finding Alpha, James Clark is joined by Anna Kirkby to explore the growing appeal of private markets. They break down what private markets are, why they’ve historically been out of reach for many investors, and how that’s changing. Anna explains the key benefits – such as diversification, the illiquidity premium, and access to untapped growth - and highlights why private credit is one of the fastest growing markets today. The episode also covers practical ways investors can incorporate private markets into their portfolios, and why now might be the time to rethink the traditional investment strategies.

Tariff Turmoil
A topic front of mind for every investor at the moment is the potential impact of tariffs on the global economy.

In this podcast, Challenger's Chief Economist, Jonathan Kearns, discusses the likelihood these tariffs will be enacted, and the implications for the US, Australian and world economy with Fidante Investment Specialist, James Clark.
