About this episode

22 Aug 2025. All eyes are on the Fed Chair today, what’s the main thing to watch when Jay Powell speaks at Jackson Hole? We ask Martin Hennecke of St. James’s Place Wealth Management. Plus, as the UAE heads back to school, we speak to the founder of a chauffeur service that drives kids to class by the hour. And the real estate boss helping teachers with both housing and school fees. Finally, after thousands of UAE investors were caught out by the collapse of a UK fund manager, lawyer Ahmed Elnaggar explains how to avoid falling into the same trap.
