The Living Market podcast
A weekly synopsis of market themes and trends
Why Korea matters right now
Most investors haven't been paying attention to Korea. Ashish Utarid, Assistant Vice-President, Investment Strategy at IG Wealth Management, makes the case that they should be. He explains how sweeping corporate governance reforms have unlocked remarkable stock market gains and why Korean export data has become one of the most reliable early signals for where U.S. manufacturing is headed. For investors focused on artificial intelligence, global manufacturing and shareholder reform, Korea sits at the intersection of all three.

SPECIAL PODCAST
Getting your will and executor right
You have a will. But when did you last review it, and does the person you've named as executor truly understand what they're taking on? In this special edition of The Living Market, host Aurèle Courcelles, IG’s Vice-President, Tax and Estate Planning, is joined by Dan Britton, IG’s AVP, Tax and Estate Planning and Devon Miller, VP, Partnerships and Distribution at ClearEstate. Together, they explore why a will that made sense years ago may no longer reflect your current reality, what the executor role truly demands, and how estate disputes — even in close families — often begin not with money, but with surprises.
