In the latest episode of The Investing Show, we take a look at what’s actually in the FTSE 100 and whether investors should buy in.

We also discuss the best UK bank shares and their prospects and take a look at whether there is any wisdom in the old Sell in May adage.

This is Money has teamed up with TipTV to produce the Investing Show series, with investing news and debate and ideas to help you make more of your money.

Simon Lambert, editor of This is Money, is joined in the studio by Richard Hunter, head of equities at Hargreaves Lansdown, and Nick Batsford, CEO of TipTV.

This show features special guest Ben Kumar, of Seven Investment Management, who takes us on a tour of the FTSE 100, as we ask should investors be worried about how it does and do we suffer too much from home bias?
