📜 SUMMARY 📜

I join Swen Lorenz to discuss the prospect of capital controls returning to major Western jurisdictions. We give examples of how soft capital controls have quietly creeped back into existence all over the world, and why more explicit and severe restrictions are likely to be put in place on your financial assets in the near future. While no comprehensive solution exists for high net worth investors, we explain why diversification offers the best form of preparation for this new reality.
