As 2024 races past its halfway point, the world has seen no shortage of political events that have kept it far from boring. The United States grapples with social issues, the presidential run has started with a terrible debate, a genocide continues to silently unfold in Palestine, and Europe is embroiled in political drama, giving […]
Some months are packed with changes and updates that keep us engaged and intrigued, like April. But then there are months like this May, where things seem a bit quieter, and it’s harder to pinpoint what exactly happened, especially if geopolitics isn’t on our radar. So, pardon the brevity of this update—it’s just one of […]

They conveyed no new information beyond what we were already aware of, asserting that they […]
As the year draws to a close, a profound sense of gratitude envelops me for the invaluable lessons learned and the remarkable individuals encountered along the way. Given that this Portfolio Update marks the culmination of 2023, I wish to take a moment to reflect on the events that transpired and share a few important […]
A brief analysis on the latest ECB meeting, and what to expect next.
A brief analysis on the latest Fed meeting, and what to expect next.
