‍Transcription

Good morning, afternoon or evening and welcome back to the Expat Investor Podcast as always I'm Tom Pewtress, your host for today's show and well what a show we've got today. As I record this podcast I do it alongside the breaking news of the UK spring budget being announced and one of the big headlines so far is with regards to UK pensions. Next week I will cover the budget in more depth, but I have to say I'm shocked to see that the UK lifetime allowance has been abolished.

Today it's a bit market orientated again as last week was definitely a choppy week for markets. Sadly, though it didn't finish very well for a company called Silicon Valley bank which ended up collapsing.

SVB is the second largest bank to ever have failed so who is SVP and what did they do?
Diversification is key.
Three banks collapse, Silicon Valley Bank, Signature Bank and Silvergate which was a bank geared towards the crypto industry.
Credit Suisse is in all sorts of trouble.
Look past the noise and look at what's been going on for so long.
It's been a big week in financial services and the noise is far from over.
