In the latest episode of Citrus Insights, Richard Harris dives into two major developments impacting the investment landscape: the Labour budget in the UK and the surprising election of Donald Trump as the 47th President of the United States. Richard is joined by Jonathan Raymond, Investment Manager at Quilter Cheviot, who helps unpack the complexities these events bring to investors.
Jonathan’s expertise and unique insights shed light on critical questions: How will U.S. market valuations, especially in tech, impact global investors? What role does AI play in shaping the future of high-growth industries? And what does a Labour-led budget mean for the UK’s growth prospects?
This conversation takes a close look at how shifts in regulation, inflation expectations, and consumer sentiment could affect portfolios in the short and long term. Jonathan also shares how investors might choose to position themselves amidst these changes, such as the renewed value in bonds and the potential of UK equities.

- A Labour budget could mean slower growth for the UK, but attractive valuations in UK equities may present opportunities.
- Bonds are back in the spotlight, offering stable returns in an uncertain economic climate.
