Kicking off the year with a bang, Kimberley Dondo, Tom Browne and Dan Cooper sit down for MM Talks to dissect the trends that really matter. First up, they ask the uncomfortable question: is the ‘adviser-as-platform’ dream turning into a compliance nightmare? The team explores why the white-labelling craze is cooling off and whether firms have mistaken control for simplicity. Finally, they tackle the trillion-dollar question: is the AI bubble about to pop? From hyperscaler arms races to finding value beyond the hype, they cover it all before rounding off with their own professional (and personal) resolutions for 2026.
