In this episode of Enquire, we sit down with Rae Maile, a highly experienced analyst with more than 36 years’ experience in the City, covering both financial and tobacco stocks. Rae charts his unconventional route from fund management into broking, explains why he never gave up his dual-sector coverage, and reflects on how the job of an analyst has (and hasn’t) changed. 

Rae shares candid views on AI in research, the role of social media in accessibility, and what fund managers really want from conversations with analysts and IR teams. He also reflects on shifting global investor interest in the UK market, the challenges facing IPOs, and what it truly takes for London to compete internationally.
