Are you paying for sophistication… or just complexity?
Structured products. ILPs. The industry calls them “innovative.” Some call them “expensive packaging.”
In this week’s episode ft. Tim Phillips from TimTalksMoney, we dive into how these products really work — what value they can offer, and where investors often get misled.
From fees that compound quietly, to the psychology behind why people still buy them — it’s a candid look at the tension between advice, incentives, and outcomes.
Tune in now for a no-drama, data-driven take — minus the sales pitch.
