Original Broadcast: The Financial Outlook for Personal Investors
FInlay Mathers of Edison Group discusses Rolls-Royce which, under new management, met all its turnaround targets two years early and confounded investors' attitudes towards its business, comprising civil aviation, aerospace and power systems. The shares are above the industry average but it's a fantastic business whose air business has a "power by the hour" model linking it to the upturn in global air travel, while its defence order book is up by 89%. The future may be bumpy, but the business is very sound.

Professor Tim Evans of Middlesex University discusses the nature of political economy in statecraft in the light of the government taking over British Steel. Why are so many of Britain's important companies plundered? Tim discusses Donald Trump's divisiveness. Despite disliking the man, has to admit he has been proven right on some things. But are his heavy-handed tactics brewing a very fundamental currency crisis? And, given the rapid advances in technology which mean we are at another "Dreadnought moment", how can military and political leaders make sensible spending choices?

Bonds can cement obligation, and the rising yields on long-dated U.S. Treasury bonds are currently closing down Donald Trump's options for bullying the world into submission. Other superpowers may be relishing the opportunity to wrest hegemony away from America, but would this change the world for the better? Bonds can also draw people together, using the example of servant leadership given by Jesus two thousand years ago when he washed his disciples' feet. Such unconditional love enables integration and definitely leading to a better world — surely a preferable way forward than superpower hegemony. Background music: 'Saving the World' by Aaron Kenny

For years, two-year fixes were the mortgage of choice for most homeowners — but borrowers piled into five-year deals in 2022 and 2023 in a bid to lock in super-low rates. Now, UK Finance figures show shorter fixed deals are once again back in vogue. Does that mean people think rates are heading down — and what do you need to think about when choosing yours? This is Money's Helen Crane and Georgie Frost discuss. Elsewhere in the property market, TSB data reveals that the average first-time buyer is now past their 30th birthday in all but one region of Britain. Perhaps more surprisingly, though, the amount people borrowed from family to get on the property ladder went down last year. The team ask why that is, and tips for saving a house deposit. Donald Trump's tariffs have continued to dominate the headlines this week, causing a whirlwind on the global markets. Is this going to bring down savings rates for good, and what can people do with their money instead? On the bright side, though, it means there might be a very short window in which you can buy a cheap TV.
