Investors' Chronicle

Show Notes

Seraphim Space (SSIT) has been one of the best performing investment trusts in the past year. Helped by the enthusiasm for the sector generated by SpaceX, the £400mn trust pulled off a rare fundraising and now has a pile of cash to deploy.

Val Cipriani sits down with chief executive Mark Boggett, who discusses opportunities and volatility in space, why he isn’t afraid of concentration, and how space technology could prove as revolutionary as the internet or AI.
