Welcome to Investing Stakes. Our new monthly series where Edmund Greaves and Chris Tuite invest £500 of their own money and track the results in public over a five-year horizon, in partnership with Stratiphy.

In Episode 1, Ed and Chris set out their strategies (momentum vs moving averages), choose sectors and debate the big themes shaping markets - including AI, healthcare innovation, defence spending and energy - with Stratiphy Chief Investment Officer Chris Ling.

What you’ll get in this series (monthly):

• Our latest performance: what’s up, what’s down, and why

• The decisions we’re making next (and what we’re avoiding)

• Clear explanations of investing fundamentals and market context

• A closer look at systematic/quant approaches (signals, backtests, and portfolio changes)

In this episode:

• The market backdrop and what’s driving volatility

• Tech vs no-tech: the core disagreement

• Why we’re doing “skin in the game” investing publicly

• How Stratiphy strategies work (momentum, moving averages, MACD)

• ISA vs GIA considerations (and why it matters)
