In this episode, I discuss my latest piece of investment research where I look at consistent funds, and reveal one global equity tracker fund that passes the test. Andy then explores the issue of debanking, explaining what it is and what can be done if it happens to you. Finally, I discuss the nuances of shopping for car insurance and the importance of ensuring you're getting the same level of cover when comparing quotes on different comparison sites.
