Investing during volatility, property & Vodafone : Companies and Markets Show

This week’s show kicks off with a look at FTSE 100 Reit Land Securities, which reported full-year figures. It is still shifting away from offices in favour of shopping centres and residential developments, but with gilt yields spiking again this week, will it remain a victim of circumstances beyond its control? Hugh Moorhead dives into the details. More updates on that here

Discussion then turns to Vodafone – its annual results were met with a mixed reaction, but its turnaround plan has found favour over the past year and continues at pace. Alex Newman and Dan Jones discuss whether doubling down on the UK and Africa makes sense. More on Vodafone here

To conclude, we delve into our Big Read , which, in the face of current geopolitical uncertainty, outlines five portfolios for five possible futures. Julian Hofmann explains why investors should consider scenario planning rather than predictions, and outlines what some of these different eventualities will mean for a range of investments.
