Richard Taylor and James Boyle are back, bringing  you the latest reports and their unfiltered takes on what’s going in the world of US/UK cross-border investing and financial planning. 

Rich and James start with a look at how the markets behaved in May, which was generally very positive. As said many times on the show before, it’s important not be reactive or make emotional investment decisions. Current events influencing long-term investment strategies is a common mistake. Don’t touch that third rail!  

The conversation then turns to investment and tax implications for expats who may move back to the UK. What are the implications for reporting vs non-reporting funds? Avoid punitive tax liabilities with some key planning decisions.

Finally, the talk turns to  retirement (sadly not their own) and, citing a recent New York Times Magazine piece, the importance of having something to retire to. Have you thought about your retirement plan? It’s crucial to have one. James and Rich weigh up the pros and cons of retiring early against continuing to work in a consultancy role.
