Jim Leaviss has been a huge help to the Investment Week team during the past three decades. We have spoken at many crisis points for markets, so this time it was nice to talk to him about his career and his passion for getting investors excited about bonds, using some unusual methods! Who could forget 'Super Leavissio'?!!! He has played a key role in popularising bond markets for retail investors and their advisers during his time at M&G Investments, for which he was honoured with an Outstanding Industry Contribution accolade at Investment Week's Fund Manager of the Year Awards. We wish him well with his MA in the History of Art and his new role as ‘Britain's Least Known Art Historian'. #bonds #fixedincome #investing

Inspiring words from Rachel Reeves as she acknowledges the "historic responsibility" of being the first woman appointed as Chancellor of the Exchequer: "To every girl and woman reading this, let today show that there should be no limits to your ambitions." Her appointment can only support the industry's efforts to attract more women into economics and finance roles and help them progress to the very highest levels. #diversity&inclusion #financialservices #economics

Keep an eye on Investment Week, Professional Adviser and COVER Magazine today for all the latest reaction to Labour's landslide victory and what this means for advisers and their clients. We will also be looking ahead to what the industry wants to see from the new government for the financial services sector. #financialservices #financialadvice #investment #generalelection2024

I am very pleased that Eve Maddock-Jones has been promoted to acting editor of Investment Week.
