Days after we published the second podcast in this series, chancellor George Osborne pressed the pause button, with the government suspending its public sale of its Lloyds Banking Group shares until they regain some value.

This week Kate Beioley talks to Peter Day, partner at Killik & Co, and Ewan Lovett-Turner, investment companies analyst at Numis Securities.

Also up for discussion is the sustainability of investment trust income in the face of dividend cuts across the FTSE 100 and why active managers can’t seem to get on top of passives in the US.

If the government proceeds with its share sale in the spring, there is also the prospect of a discount to the market value. Should private investors buy in? In the second part of this three-part special, we look at what is moving in the banking group’s favour. Note: as we were putting this podcast together, the price of a Lloyds share was 70p.
