Welcome to Being Invested, the podcast where we explore investing from the inside. I’m not talking about insider information, but the personal stories of the people who make the markets. I’ve always been fascinated by how skilled investors have become who they are, how they’ve ridden the roller coasters and what it means to them. I’ll introduce you to innovators and leaders in all types of assets and markets – from blue chip stocks to venture capital, from timber to crypto, from violins to power plants.
I’ve been an investor and worked in the international capital markets for my whole career. I’ve had a front-row view of the women and men who move money to shape our world, and I’ve always been interested in who they are as human beings, the choices they’ve made, the qualities that make them good at what they do, and how they deal with setbacks.
This is not a podcast about where to invest your money. It’s a podcast for people who want to understand and thrive in the financial services industry – for those of you just thinking about entering it, for anyone a bit stuck in one corner and ready for a change , and for those of you, like me, who are just plain curious about who the people are behind the world’s financial markets. You’ll get to hear how investors have built and are building their careers and their businesses, and learn from them to invest for the outcomes you desire. And how to respond when the price tanks.
The mindset of being invested can enrich and elevate your journey, and I’d love to encourage more people into the sector who may not have considered it before.
Please join me for riveting conversations and new insights into the careers, life hacks and hard-won life lessons of investors across the globe.

Welcome back to Being Invested, where we explore the personal stories of the people who make the markets. My guest this time is Nick Kirrage, co-head of the Global Value Team at Schroders, and it’s a really fun conversation.
Nick is one of those people who takes on difficult things with a light touch. He has a contagious enthusiasm and openness about how human emotion – his own included – can be the curse of the investor but how acting with awareness of this can generate reliable returns time and again. Nick and I explore how AI might change this pattern, the investing rules he follows and which ones he’s left behind, as well as how an unexpected turn into the marketing department early on in his career has helped him succeed in running a market-leading investment team. You will take away thoughtful insights into the enduring tenets of value investing and what it takes personally to remain a contrarian.
Nick studied aeronautical engineering at Bristol, but got hooked on investing during university and started his career at Schroders as a graduate, ultimately co-founding the Global Value Team in 2013. He and his team now manage more than GBP11bn in assets for clients in the UK and around the globe. Alongside value investing, Nick has embraced other endurance challenges – including the Marathon de Sables, cycling the length of the country, and now participating in ÖTILLÖ Swimrun. When he’s not holding his nerve in the markets or on a chilly starting line, he might have drumsticks in his hand, as he has recently taken up drumming. Nick cares deeply about the future of the UK as a dynamic global financial centre and is actively involved in a number of initiatives, including the Capital Markets Industry Taskforce, to encourage regulation and policy to support the continued strength and growth of the investment industry here. I hope you enjoy the podcast.
