In this episode of Talk Money To Me, Felicity Thomas and Candice Bourke break down how to invest in an inflation-driven market and why traditional portfolio strategies are being challenged in 2026.

With energy shocks, persistent inflation, and changing central bank dynamics, investors are facing a very different environment to the past decade. The traditional balance between equities and bonds is no longer behaving as expected, prompting a shift in how portfolios are constructed.

Drawing on insights from the latest Shaw and Partners Investment Perspectives , this episode takes a deep dive into the assets and strategies designed for today’s market conditions.

🎯 What we cover:

• 💰 Royalties explained – how investing in revenue streams (rather than profits) can provide income, diversification and potential inflation protection
• 📈 Inflation-linked bonds – how these assets adjust with rising prices to help preserve purchasing power and support defensive portfolio positioning
• ⚡ Energy as a macro driver – why both traditional and new energy sources are central to inflation, growth and market performance
• 🌍 Portfolio positioning in 2026 – moving beyond traditional frameworks and adapting to a higher inflation environment
• 🧠 Where to find income and resilience when markets are more volatile and less predictable

🔥 Key takeaway:

The biggest shift in markets right now isn’t just volatility it’s inflation.

And the portfolios that perform will be those that evolve to include:

👉 Income linked to real economic activity

👉 Assets that adjust with inflation

👉 Exposure to structural drivers like energy

🎧 Whether you’re building long-term wealth or navigating current market uncertainty, this episode provides practical insights and a fresh perspective on modern portfolio construction.

In this Order Pad episode, Candice Bourke breaks down the bull case for Netflix in 2026 and why this global streaming giant may still have double-digit upside ahead.

While the stock has been relatively flat over the past 12 months, the fundamentals tell a very different story…

• Strong revenue growth 📈
• Expanding margins 📊
• Rising free cash flow 💰
• A rapidly scaling advertising business 📺

But the real question is: Is Netflix still a growth stock… or has it matured into a long-term compounder?

In this episode, Candice covers:

• Netflix’s latest results and what the market is missing 📊
• Why Netflix is no longer “just a streaming platform” 🌍
• The real moat: scale, data, content and monetisation 🧠
• Forecast growth: revenue, margins and earnings trajectory 💡
• Bull vs Bear case — including valuation scenarios ⚖️
• The rise of ads, live content, and new growth levers 📺
• Key risks investors need to consider ⚠️

For Candice, the bull and buy conviction is clear. Netflix is evolving into a global entertainment powerhouse utility, combining subscription, advertising, live content and gaming at scale.

With:

• ~346M subscribers (and growing) 📺
• Expanding margins toward 40%+ 📈
• Strong pricing power 💰
• Multi-layered monetisation 🔁

This is no longer “growth at any cost” it’s becoming a cash-generating compounder.

In this episode of Talk Money To Me, we unpack one of the most complex market environments in recent years — where geopolitical risk, inflation pressures and blockbuster IPOs are colliding at the same time.

Recorded on 13 April 2026, Felicity Thomas and Candice Bourke break down the latest developments in the Iran conflict, including the breakdown in ceasefire negotiations, the U.S. blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, and what this means for oil prices, inflation and global equity markets.

At the same time, markets are preparing for what could be one of the largest IPO cycles in history, with potential listings including SpaceX, Anthropic, Databricks and OpenAI. We explore whether these mega listings will drive the next leg of growth or drain liquidity from an already fragile market.

To help unpack it all, we’re joined by leading global equities investors:

• Alex Pollak (Loftus Peak)
• Nick Griffin (Munro Partners)

Together, we cover:

• What’s really happening in the Iran conflict and why markets are reacting
• Oil above US$100 and the implications for inflation and interest rates
• Whether we are officially in a market correction phase
• The investment case for SpaceX, Anthropic, and Databricks
• How investors should think about AI, valuations and capital intensity
• Why ETFs like the BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF NDQ may be a smarter way to gain exposure

This is a market being pulled between fear and future and understanding how to position your portfolio has never been more important.
