Liberation Day, Trade Wars, and Your Portfolio: What Investors Need to Know

  • Résumé

  • Is market volatility really all about tariffs? In the wake of the unexpectedly aggressive “Liberation Day,” headlines would have you believe so. But the bigger culprit isn’t trade policy—it’s uncertainty. While U.S. markets have taken a noticeable hit, international developed markets are down only about 1.3% as of this recording. So what’s really going on? In this episode, we break down what investors need to keep in mind when the market gets shaky, including:

    • Why portfolio diversification is your best defense in turbulent times
    • Why volatility tends to cluster and why that makes timing the market so difficult
    • The reality behind trade balances: population size and competitive advantage matter
    • How using tolerance bands for rebalancing can help you make rational, not emotional, decisions
