• 'Buy the bargain stocks the market is neglecting'

  09-11-2026 09:00 via Latest from MoneyWeek
  
  At Phoenix, where we manage Aurora UK Alpha, we buy bargain stocks that sit well below what we think they are worth, then hold, often for years, while that value is recognised. We look for businesses with enduring demand and the strength to serve it better than their rivals, run by people we trust with our capital. Markets have a habit of paying up for excitement and marking down neglect. Today the excitement is AI and the neglect is much of the British stock market. We have no doubt that AI wil

• How VCTs can help you invest in Britain's tech start-ups

  08-11-2026 10:00 via Latest from MoneyWeek
  
  Venture capital trusts (VCTs) could be an interesting route into the UK’s tech sector. The UK is routinely criticised for its lack of big technology companies capable of competing on the global stage, particularly in the age of AI. But while it's true that the country lacks household names in the mould of, say, Google or Anthropic, the range and depth of the British technology sector might surprise you.There are plenty of examples. Quantexa, for example, is a data, analytics and AI software co

Wales marked the occasion with The Seven Rules of Trust, which his publisher described as “a sweeping reflection on the global crisis of credibility and knowledge”. But amid all the bouquets – The Guardian recently hailed him as “the last decent tech baron” – there is plenty of barbed wire.Wikipedia faces big problems, says The Economist.

• What the Budget means for small businesses

  08-11-2026 08:00 via Latest from MoneyWeek
  
  Millions of small business owners and self-employed workers now face a significant new headache. Plans to change the way they pay income tax will raise almost as much as tax increases for banks and savers, the Budget small print reveals, and unlike the tax hike on banks, this reform is intended to be permanent.Very quietly, the chancellor has announced one of the biggest shake-ups to the UK's tax system in decades. It will affect around 12 million people who currently pay income tax through the

  Typing relentless.com into a browser redirects you to Amazon's homepage. In the summer of 1994, Amazon's founder Jeff Bezos nearly chose Relentless as the permanent name for his fledgling online business, before friends persuaded him that it sounded rather too sinister. He registered the domain anyway. Amazon was eventually chosen because Bezos wanted a name that conveyed vast scale. He planned to build the world's largest bookstore, and ultimately something much bigger – an “everything stor

• The consequences of John Healey's first Budget

  07-11-2026 09:00 via Latest from MoneyWeek
  
  One of the most telling items in John Healey'sfirst Budget as chancellor was the U-turn on the proposal in the last Budget to reduce the limit on cash individual savings accounts (ISAs) from £20,000 to £12,000. Commentators described this as a recognition of the importance of encouraging savings, but it was nothing of the sort. A few days earlier, Hargreaves Lansdown had announced the launch of a low-cost money-market fund with daily access and an expected yield of 3.95%.This and similar money
