Calculus - specifically integration with limits. Used for calculating the volume inside a non-linear shape. As the limits are pi/2 and -p/2 ...pi is radians not 3.141 ...its clearly the volume inside a 360 degree shape - something like an arced tube. As the final upper limit is 'bwL' the answer cannot just be a number, using that screenshot. I suspect the text book then moves into the rate of flow of a fluid through this shape and uses differentiation, another branch of calculus.

15k baht interest pa is in the insignificant category. I keep way more than 800k in the account but don't need it for elite visa. 1.8% meh who cares. Not me.

WIFM?

If its all they can afford then why is there usually a lady in tow? Its a shame they can't make an effort like the women do. Both visually and socially. They shame they must endure, being seen with these scruffy people.

I lost more than that this morning in between 8am and 8:01am when the UK market opened

Wise words. Tricky finding the 'efficient frontier' (one for google) Different for everyone i guess.

Yen?

An incorrect blanket statement i'm afraid. We use offshore investment plans and they are simply subject to different tax regimes that can be advantageous to some clients. The country in which the plan is registered is the deciding factor for tax treatment within the investment wrapper. Then the fund can be registered elsewhere. Then the tax regime of the client upon encashment. No place for generalisations!

Historically, I would guess that they were sold on the benefits of avoiding inheritance tax. Whilst uk pensions are also not subject to IHT they do have pre and post age 75 tax consequences on death. We use legacy preservation trusts alongside an expression of wish. This may be of personal interest to you. Also lifetime allowance cap (the £1.07m) was an issue for some. I think this did not apply to qrops. Although now changed to the LSA and LSDBA from 6/4/2024. As legislation changes, it can be tricky. You can only assess suitability at that point in time.
