Reviews

4.5 out of 5 stars from 20 ratings
  • Audio Quality is terrible

    Content of the podcast is good. Hard listen however as the audio quality is just terrible - echoes, feedback, different audio quality between individuals talking, people breathing down their own mics etc etc

    makes it a hard listen.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Exclusive: Why now is the right time for FCA's mortgage review
Q: What are the next steps after this consultation?
We will collect and read all feedback by the July 28 deadline, then, after considering industry and consumer input, return in the autumn with final rule changes and continue work on related topics like later life lending and innovative advisory practices.
Exclusive: Why now is the right time for FCA's mortgage review
Q: Why are you looking at it now?
We are building on a strong regulatory foundation since 2014 and want to rebalance risk in a way that helps those with variable income and non-traditional earnings access mortgages, while ensuring responsible lending remains at the core.
How fragile are our economic systems?
Q: Could you tell us then, in a nutshell, what the report is about and why the Institute published it?
The report examines how environmental and social risks intersect and why understanding these interlinkages is essential for accurately pricing financial risks and protecting vulnerable communities.
What impact do geopolitical events have on international advice?
Q: How is this affecting where people choose to live and which jurisdictions they move to?
Clients are re-evaluating UK residency due to non-domicile changes, with increased interest in places like Italy, Monaco, Switzerland, Singapore, and notably Dubai for diversification and security; London remains a wealth-hub but faces competitive pressure from tax regimes elsewhere.
What impact do geopolitical events have on international advice?
Q: So, Jeremy, is geopolitical tax and uncertainty contributing to a fundamental shift in the way internationally mobile clients are managing their wealth?
Yes, wealthy families have long been internationally mobile and have had contingency plans; now, due to events like policy changes and regional instability, they are actively re-evaluating residency and structures while maintaining access to liquid assets and diversifying holdings.
