In general, very few geopolitical shocks particularly, conflicts or regime changes, have a meaningful impact on markets over the long term.

Ryan Boothroyd Head of External Management at Border to Coast Pensions Partnership

In this episode, we explore how to see through the noise of today’s market environment to make effective investment strategy decisions. To help our conversation, we’re joined by: 

  • Ryan Boothroyd, Head of External Management at Border to Coast Pensions Partnership. Ryan gives us insights into how he thinks about geopolitical vs market risk; whether we’re in “bubble territory” on asset prices; and how to apply local objectives to a global opportunity set.
  • Zuhair Mohammed, Head of investment at LCP. Zuhair shared his key takeaways from this year’s Pensions UK Investment conference and reflects on the discussions around the current economic environment as well as how investors can think about opportunities and risks as they look ahead to the rest of the year. 

This episode is in a three-part mini-series of Investment Uncut, covering some of the key themes being discussed at the Pensions UK Investment Conference 2026. Check out our other two episodes, focused on supporting UK growth and navigating the energy transition.
