We are living in an extremely uncertain world – perhaps the most uncertain in most of our lifetimes.
In this rapidly changing and uncertain world – there are many new and emerging risks and we believe it is vital to stay informed.
These include cyber and currency wars, terrorism, cold and indeed very hot wars
The threat posed by cyber war to our increasingly complicated, technologically dependent and vulnerable financial institutions, markets, banks and indeed deposits becomes more clear by the day.
Banks’ “archaic technology systems” are unable to cope with the demands of modern online banking according to leading experts – let alone hacking by terrorists or hostile nation states.
The risks posed to our paper assets held digitally and our digital currency by hacking, cyberterrorism and cyberwar remains very under appreciated.
Our modern western financial system with its massive dependency on single interface websites, servers and the internet faces serious risks that few analysts have yet to appreciate and evaluate.

Currency wars and competitive currency devaluations continue and if diplomacy does not prevail, then ‘beggar thy neighbour’ trade wars and currency wars will intensify with attendant consequences for the already vulnerable fiat currencies and our modern financial monetary system.
An intense Cold War has recommenced and there is the possibility of this degenerating into a very hot war and actual conflict and war between large nuclear armed nations such as Russia, China and the U.S.
Terrorism, whether non state or state sponsored poses a real risk to all nations. A single dirty nuclear bomb in a suit case detonated in New York or London could bring down the world’s financial system.
