Listener question

Our listener question this week comes from Richard Leeson, who asks whether cautious investors should still consider fixed income funds despite the headwinds they face with rising interest rates.

If you have a personal finance or investment question, we would love to hear from you and have the opportunity to answer your question in a future episode of the show.

Martin has set up a new voicemail number; to leave your question as a voicemail, call 020 8144 2745 and record your message.

Please leave a note of your full name, mention your website or blog if you have one, and then record your question. If you could keep the question to under 60 seconds, that would be perfect, and then we will feature it on a future episode of the podcast.

Main topic

How bad is old age? That’s the big topic of discussion this week following the news that a healthy former nurse has ended her life in a Swiss suicide clinic because her experiences of caring for the elderly showed her old age is no fun.
