‘Cultural attitudes around investing need to change’: Lee and the IC

Lord Lee and Alex discuss the ways Britain's investing landscape can change, Jeremy Hunt's Budget and updates to his portfolio
March 26, 2024

Alex and Lord Lee have reunited for the seventh episode of Lee and the IC, two weeks on from Jeremy Hunt’s Spring Budget. 

The announcement of a British Isa could shake up the UK’s private investing landscape so the pair begin by mulling over the practicality of the tax shelter and how future governments can improve the public’s attitudes towards investing.

In his statement, Hunt also announced the government would be selling its NatWest (NWG) shares, which could be the move to get the ball rolling on Lord Lee’s gifting shares to schools idea, a method to increase investing literacy. 

Lord Lee then answers questions from listeners on how he generates investment ideas and whether stop-losses are a part of his method. As with each episode, the pair wrap up the conversation by discussing some of Lord Lee’s holdings, including Anpario (ANP), M&G (MNG) and Treatt plc (TET), which Investors’ Chronicle also profiled last week here.

This episode was recorded on 21 March.
