[Full Show] Markets Unsettled, Greylisting Impacts and Understanding FSP Licenses

Loading player...
Doing things a little differently, we're uploading our full show as a single podcast. Let us know if you would prefer it this way in future as well. So for this week:

Market Matters
This week, we look back at how markets have been reacting to the various geopolitical risks that have played out over the week. We also look at the positive reaction investors have shown towards receiving more details on the PnP-Boxer unbundling.

Deep Dive
We dive into greylisting and its impact on asset managers and investment mandates. We reference the struggles experienced by the Public Investment Corporation (PIC) and the potential impact on returns that greylisting could continue to have.

Investor Insights
We take a greater look at licensing in the financial services space, particularly FSP licenses. We provide information useful to consumers looking to validate financial service providers. And, of course, we update our wall of preferred picks.
