We’re living longer and having fewer children. But are the effects of longevity an economic threat or a huge investment opportunity? In this episode of Investing Unlocked, Georgie Frost and guest host Maike Currie (PensionBee) are joined by David Sinclair, Chief Executive of the International Longevity Centre, to explore what longer lives and falling birth rates mean for investors. They look at the impact of a shrinking workforce and whether AI and automation can help plug the labour gap, as well as the investment opportunities emerging from the ageing population and the so-called ‘silver economy'. In a world where people are living for longer, can the traditional ‘learn, earn, retire’ model survive? And if longevity becomes one of the biggest investment themes of the coming decades, are investors ready for it?

Trillions of dollars are pouring into artificial intelligence. But is the AI boom outpacing reality? In the Season 2 premiere of Investing Unlocked (sponsored by PensionBee), Georgie Frost and guest host Russ Mould talk to BBC technology broadcaster Spencer Kelly about what the AI boom means for your money.
What separates a successful investor from everyone else – and why do so many of us feel like we're getting it wrong?
AI is transforming the world – but does that automatically make it a good investment? In this episode of Investing Unlocked Extra, Georgie Frost is joined by Andrew Oxlade, Director at Fidelity Personal Investing, to unpack one of the biggest questions facing investors today. Are AI stocks genuinely worth their eye-watering valuations, or are we seeing echoes of the dot-com bubble? And if you're invested in a pension, ISA or global tracker fund, how much AI exposure do you already have without realising it? Together, they explore whether Nvidia, SpaceX and the Magnificent Seven have become too dominant, how to assess AI valuations, why passive investing may be increasing concentration risk and whether now is the time to rebalance your portfolio. They also discuss active versus passive investing, diversification, FOMO, market psychology and the practical steps investors can take to manage risk while staying invested. Whether you're excited by AI or worried you've become overexposed, this episode will help you understand the opportunities, the risks and what they could mean for your portfolio.
