Welcome to Stanford Brown's 'SB Talks' podcast where we explore the important elements of your financial world - from investments to strategy, from retirement planning to intergenerational wealth.

In this episode our CEO Vincent O'Neill is speaking with Chief Investment Officer Ashley Owen to discuss markets, economics, pandemics, and just a little US politics.

We cover:

• The competing forces driving markets - Pandemic recession vs Ultra-low rates
• Governments are running up war-time-like deficits and debts – can it last?
• Australia's banks – back to the good old days?
