Should leaving a legacy come at the cost of a comfortable retirement? How and when do you have a chat with your kids about financial independence? legacies take years to build - how to get them right from the start. 

This week Dawn and Cobie discuss the continuing tariff saga, Japan's emboldened moves, China's stalemate and the possibility of a recession, following the first quarter of negative GDP growth in the US. 

This week, Dawn and Cobie continue to look at the unfurling saga of tariffs and how they are impacting foreign relations, stock and bond markets. When markets dip, it's time for asset managers to go bargain hunting - Cobie talks about one of the stocks that have come onto his radar recently - Hoya Corp. 

Bond markets sent Trump a clear message that his path was going to end in tears, so he doubled down and talked about firing Powell. Damage is being done that cannot be reversed and we are seeing a new world order emerge. 

Was there any other new last week except the tariff war, and despite delaying the recording of the podcast, it changed again, with Trump backing off on most of the important China tariffs, as we expected he would at some point. Sure equities took a hammering, but it was the bond market that was the persuader at the end of the day. 

This week it's all about tariffs and markets - but looking through all the bad news and finding the opportunities and waiting for the bottom - which may not be that far off. This podcast is based on our Monday Morning Newsletter, you can get on the database at rexsolom.co.za

This week Cobie Le Grange and Dawn Ridler have a deep dive into some issues affecting markets right now. The impact of tariffs, specifically on autos and pharma (this week) - especially on RSA's thriving auto industry. Europe has taken up the challenge of America's isolationist policies, and these are starting to play out in the markets. 

This week we look at the chaos in the markets and how this is impacting policy decisions globally, interest rates and investments. Here in RSA, we have our own chaos that is simmering in the background, with the budget yet to be approved in parliament. Outside of the US shares are on the rise - from Europe through to China. 

In this podcast, Dawn Ridler and Liam Wright discuss how to structure and design those 'pensions' you want in retirement so that you don't outlive them. 

This week we have a look at the volatility in the US markets, including the weakening dollar and try and decipher whether or not this a new trend, or short correction. Can RSA Inc learn lessons from Trump's attempt to downsize government?
