Popular Junior ISA investments, rising mortgage rates, Terry Smith backs Amazon, and Biffa’s new waste solution

On the 10th anniversary of Junior ISAs, the podcast looks at the most popular investments held inside these accounts including Tesla and Scottish Mortgage. There is an odd one out: and Dan Coatsworth thinks he knows why.

Laura Suter looks at how mortgages are getting more expensive, and what homeowners can do to avoid their bills getting too big.

Dan runs through the latest market news, including Terry Smith’s decision to finally invest in Amazon, and why THG and Darktrace have gone off the boil.

He also chats about the forthcoming stock market listing of electric vehicle group Rivian and why two FTSE 100 chief executives have just resigned.

Michael Topham from Biffa is on the show to explain the acquisition of the Company Shop, which helps household goods manufacturers to sell mislabelled products that might have otherwise gone in the bin. The venture also gives something back to the community and has special shops for key workers.

Finally, Jenny Owen discusses things that go bang in the dark – namely fireworks and how we’re spending big on them.
