Britain has plenty of capital. What it lacks is the confidence to use it. In this episode of the Investor Summit Green Room, Stacey Parsons, Managing Director of RetailBook, sits down with Katie Martin, Markets Columnist at the Financial Times and co-host of the Unhedged podcast. Together they ask why Brits will happily talk about house prices, the weather and the football, but never about investing. They cover: • Why so much UK money sits in savings accounts and Premium Bonds • How warnings, jargon and ever-changing ISA rules put people off • What the UK can learn from America's investment culture, and what it should leave behind • Crypto as a "lottery ticket", and the case for a balanced, long-term portfolio • Rebuilding trust in financial services and telling better stories about British companies Nothing in this episode is investment advice.
