BBC Radio 4 - How You Pay for the City, Episode 2

David Grossman investigates the ways that savers, investors and consumers pay for the City

David Grossman investigates how the City makes its money and investigates the often hidden costs of saving for a pension.

Institutional investors such as pension funds are the most dominant force in world markets. But how much do we know about the different intermediaries involved in managing our pensions and how much money they take for their work?

David Grossman asks what the data about the dozens of funds in the Local Government Pension Scheme tells us about how all our pensions are being managed. And he investigates the role of the most important bank you've never heard of - the global custodian.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
