Marco asks why people with very substantial wealth still borrow money. In this 2021 commentary, he links the issue with obtaining liquidity by using shares or other assets as collateral instead of selling them. He contrasts that access with the difficulties faced by people with fewer resources. The tax argument remains brief and attributed to the speaker: the passage does not distinguish jurisdictions, borrowing conditions or individual transactions.
Key points
- The topic is using wealth as collateral to obtain liquidity.
- Marco contrasts access to credit for the very wealthy with access for people with fewer resources.
- Tax consequences are described in broad terms within the historical commentary.
