Investment Perspectives from RSMR
The Investment Perspectives podcast from RSMR helps financial advisers understand the economic landscape by analysing current events from an expert investment perspective.
With two decades of experience delivering independent fund ratings to advisory businesses, our forward-looking research process is dedicated to constant market monitoring and assessment. Our investment team is a fountain of knowledge and as Client Engagement and Marketing Manager at RSMR, I’m always looking for ways to get RSMR commentary out there. Tailored for professional financial advisers, our monthly podcasts aim to inform and provoke thought.
Each month I talk to one of our team about a pertinent global event or topic, delving into discussions about implications through an investment perspective lens. The podcast not only features insights from our accomplished investment team but also perspectives from our account management team – a unique angle fueled by their direct interactions with financial advisers.

Gold - still glittering in a volatile world
Humans have been fascinated by gold for over 6,000 years with the first known gold artefacts dating back to around 4,000 BC in Eastern Europe. It has been used as currency, art, jewellery, and a symbol of power across every major civilisation. Gold doesn't tarnish, rust, or corrode and is one of the most chemically stable elements on Earth, which is why it's been treasured for millennia and used to store value through wars, recessions, and currency collapses.
