In this week's podcast, Tom talks to Investment Association director of policy, strategy and research Jon Lipkin.
IA member firms look after £9.4 trillion of customer assets in the UK and around the world.
In this wide-ranging conversation, Tom and Jon explore some of the big issues in investment management today.
They discuss the critical challenge of climate risk reporting for investors, and the IA's role within that.
Jon explains why he thinks we're "on the cusp of an investment transformation", and what the next iteration of disclosure documents needs to tackle.
He shares some perhaps surprising findings around consumer understanding of investment terms, and the connotations around things like passive investing.
Jon and Tom also delve into sustainable and responsible investment, and building the sustainable investment plane while we're already flying it.
