Hi folks and welcome to the Meaningful Money podcast session number 115.

I want to get married. I want to stay single and let my hair flow in the wind as I ride through the glen,

going to be looking at how to make the most of the opportunities and try to avoid the pitfalls.

friends at 7 Investment Management. They're a firm of investment managers based up in the city

of London. And they specialize in multi-asset investing, which brings institutional investing techniques to ordinary people like you and me.
