Good afternoon, fellow investors, and welcome back to Invest talk.

This is our Thursday, May 22nd, 2025 edition of InvestTalk.

And this hour is dedicated to you and your path towards your own version of financial freedom.

And this is an interesting time, a global reordering of geopolitics, as well as the financial

system.

And it brings different challenges, different risks, and different opportunities as well.

So we are here to help guide you during this transition that is going to challenge all of us,

both on a personal level as well as a financial level.
