Welcome to Episode 15 of the Money Side Up podcast - the show for Australians around the globe, diving into all things personal finance, from tax and investing to repatriation and property tips.
In this episode, co-hosts Will Cant and Jarrad Brown kick things off with a timely update on what’s moving global equity markets, how Australian expats should be thinking about the current interest rate outlook, and what these shifts mean for your investment strategy while living abroad.
