IHT Thinking No1 - IHT Unlocked (Mini Series Trailer)
The first episode of IHT THINKING, an ALTERNATIVE THINKING podcast, sponsored by Puma Investments, Foresight and Downing, specially dedicated to Inheritance Tax.
The FULL EPISODE is available only to Financial Advisers at our website https://growthinvest.com/podcasts/
Hosted by GrowthInvest, this brand-new mini-series of specialised podcasts delivers thought leadership discussion around the impacts to estate planning that have been driven by the significant recent changes in IHT legislation and those to come over the next 12 months. In this first episode we welcome Jessica Franks (Puma), Richard Roberts (Foresight) and Nick Priest (Downing) to explore the UK's evolving IHT landscape and what it means for advisers and their clients.
The panel discusses the current IHT rules and allowances in the UK, the impact of the April 2026 changes, rising IHT receipts and frozen thresholds, as well as the significant pension reforms due in April 2027, why early planning is essential and the opportunities and responsibilities adviser firms have in supporting clients through intergenerational wealth transfer and long-term estate planning.

Alternative Thinking - AIMing for Growth
In this episode, we are joined by Oliver Bedford, Fund Manager at Hargreave Hale AIM VCT, and Simon French, Chief Economist and Head of Research at Panmure Liberum, to discuss the state of the UK smaller companies market and the AIM market in particular.
The conversation explores why UK smaller companies have fallen out of favour in recent years, the factors influencing investor sentiment, and the challenges many growth businesses have faced in accessing capital. Our guests discuss the relationship between company fundamentals and market valuations, the implications of recent VCT policy changes, and some of the common misconceptions surrounding AIM-listed companies.
The episode also highlights examples of established and growing UK businesses, offering insights into the role AIM continues to play in supporting entrepreneurial and innovative companies across the UK.
