By: Angharad Carrick

In this episode, Christian talks to Sam Smith, CEO of broker FinnCap, about her campaign to protect and enhance the rights of retail investors – particularly during a new or emergency equity raise.

Sam, who heads the largest broker on AIM, also believes that with better regulation and fewer barriers, retail investors could be the driving force of an economic recovery. 

Also in this episode, Christian looks at Mike Pompeo’s criticism of HSBC over its support for China’s Hong Kong crackdown; the OECD’s grim forecast for the UK economy; and Boris Johnson’s decision to make you wait a little bit longer for a pint.
