Shares in British and Irish banks have fallen sharply in the wake of the "Brexit" referendum, but Platinum Asset Management’s Clay Smolinski says this has created a buying opportunity for investors. Meanwhile, Aurora Funds Management’s Hugh Dive says the fallout from the UK’s vote to leave the European Union should have little impact on the Australian sharemarket and the nation’s four major banks. He notes that the local banks have less reliance on wholesale funding from Europe than during the global financial crisis.
