What it takes to build a fund institutions actually allocate to
The Roadmap to £10bn Podcast explores what it really takes to scale an investment strategy from early traction to institutional allocations. Each episode breaks down one stage of the journey: from getting your first credible inflows to meeting the operational, governance, and narrative standards required by large allocators.

EP 1: Timing, Clarity & Credibility: The Three Things Every UK Fund Buyer Is Actually Looking For
Wayne and Gareth break down the three forces behind almost every fund buying decision in the UK: timing, clarity, and credibility. From why passive funds are dominating allocations to what quietly kills a deal before an RFP ever lands, this episode lays the foundation for everything that follows on the Roadmap to £10bn. If interest isn't converting into allocation, start here.
EP 2: The Two Sentences That Could Make or Break Your Fund
Wayne and Gareth go head to head on whether a fund's investment objective and policy directly drives its growth, and land somewhere neither quite expected. From FCA regulatory pressure to how EU and UK funds compare, this episode reveals why the words that describe your fund carry far more commercial weight than most managers realise.
EP 3: The Unfair Advantage: What Vertically Integrated Models Get Wrong About Distribution Strategy
If your advisers, platform, and funds are all under the same roof, do you still need a distribution strategy? Wayne and Gareth unpack why having a captive audience doesn't reduce the work — it just changes it. Conflicts of interest, governance, and how to actually use your unfair advantage properly are all on the table.
