Property has long been the go-to wealth builder for UK investors. But while bricks and mortar has delivered steady returns, one asset class has quietly and consistently outperformed every traditional investment, stocks, property, gold and bonds over the last decade. That asset class is crypto. In this session, Hemina Haque, crypto educator and founder of Reset Your Wealth, cuts through the noise and makes the straightforward case for why digital assets deserve a place in a modern, balanced portfolio. To be clear, this isn't trading. There's no leverage, no charts to watch all day, no gambling on short-term price moves. This is long-term, structured investing in crypto, the same disciplined thinking you'd apply to any serious asset class, applied to digital assets. Hemina will break down how much exposure actually makes sense, why diversification into crypto doesn't have to mean high risk, and how a structured, repeatable approach can take the guesswork out of getting started. If you've been curious about crypto but put off by the noise, this session is for you.

Whisky casks have attracted growing interest from investors looking to diversify beyond traditional asset classes, but understanding what drives value is essential. In this seminar, Oliver Court, Managing Director of London Cask Traders, will explain how the Scotch whisky cask market works, from sourcing and bonded warehouse storage through to maturation and eventual exit. Delegates will learn what can make one cask more valuable than another, including distillery reputation, age, cask type, rarity and demand from independent bottlers and collectors. Oliver will also explore real examples of casks that have been bought and subsequently sold, the different routes available when exiting an investment, and some of the key risks and considerations investors should understand before entering the market. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of whisky casks as a tangible alternative asset and the due diligence they should carry out before investing.

LEGO produces each set for a limited time, then retires it for good. Once off the shelves, the most desirable sets are sought after by collectors worldwide, and peer-reviewed research has found average returns of around 11% a year, outpacing gold, stocks and bonds. This seminar explains how that market works and how a private investor can take part in it. Delegates will learn:

• Why LEGO's retirement cycle creates predictable scarcity, and what has driven prices over two decades of data
• What separates the sets that appreciate from those that do not: theme, exclusivity, production run and retirement timing
• How the secondary market works, who the buyers are, and how quickly sets sell
• How storage, insurance and authentication protect a sealed set's value
• Why gains on most sets fall outside UK capital gains tax

Speaker: Zevi Sternlicht, Founder & Director, Little Brick Capital

Traders have more data than ever; the challenge is knowing what matters. │AI can help filter information, monitor markets and automate repetitive tasks. │ The trading workflow is moving from information → analysis → decision → execution. │ AI can support decision-making and risk controls, but cannot remove market uncertainty. │ By 2027, traders are likely to use AI and automation much more routinely, from research to execution.
