SB Talks

As always, I am joined by our Chief Investment Officer, Mr. Ashley Owen. Inevitably, we're going to be discussing the Hayne Report, and the impact it will have on the financial services industry, in particular, the banks. We'll be taking a quick look at a very important announcement made by the Fed in early January, the importance of a looming Brexit and finally the portfolio changes we made in January, alongside what an incoming Labor Government would mean for our portfolios.

As ever, I am joined by our CIO, Ashley Owen. This month we discuss whether a new bear market has already started, we debate whether Brexit is a sideshow and speculate that Europe's problems may stem closer to its French heartland, we mull over why markets are falling amidst such a positive backdrop for corporate profits, and Ashley lists his four factors that accompany most asset bubbles.

In this month's episode of Stanford Brown's Market Insights podcast, Jonathan and Ashley discuss whether a new bear market has already begun, whether the world is heading for recession, why the oil price collapsed, the unintended effects of the Hayne Commission and some mind-blowing stats about China.
