In this special episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, produced in partnership with Commonwealth Bank of Australia, we unpack notable trends – socially, politically, economically – in the domestic and global markets and how Australian legal practitioners can move to further ensure their financial security.

Host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with the chief investment officer for Commonwealth Private, Jason Todd, about his background and interest in markets, the dichotomy between the Main Street and Wall Street experiences, what it says about the current economic climate, and some early takeaways from the recent re-election of Donald Trump and what it could mean for Australia.

Todd also delves into how Australia is faring economically relative to global counterparts, why he is optimistic about the Australian outlook, whether now is the time for lawyers to be rethinking their financial strategies, the questions they need to ask of themselves, and practical steps to take in revamping their investments, portfolio and broader financial plans.
