Markets are often driven less by logic and more by emotion, and that pattern hasn’t changed despite decades of evolution in investing tools and technology. Nick Clay, manager of the TM Redwheel Global Equity Income fund, joins us this week to explore how cycles of greed and fear continue to shape market behaviour, and why volatility is returning after years of unusually stable conditions. We discuss inflation, AI-driven disruption, shifting definitions of quality and why valuation discipline matters more in today’s environment. The interview also challenges the idea of “quality at any price” and highlights the importance of income, compounding and long-term thinking in a world where investor expectations can change quickly.
