How I’m going to play the eurozone end game

Nobody knows how the eurozone debt crisis will end. But one possibility is the break-up of the euro into strong and weak currencies. Bengt Saelensminde explains one way to hedge your wealth against a eurozone meltdown.

I'll be honest. This situation in Europe is giving me cause for concern.

You see, I hold a fair chunk of my wealth in eurozone property. I have a place in France that I spend a fair amount of my time in. I plan to own that for a long time, so no worries there.

Bengt graduated from Reading University in 1994 and followed up with a master's degree in business economics.

 

He started stock market investing at the age of 13, and this eventually led to a job in the City of London in 1995. He started on a bond desk at Cantor Fitzgerald and ended up running a desk at stockbroker's Cazenove.

 

Bengt left the City in 2000 to start up his own import and beauty products business which he still runs today.
