What’s covered in the webinar:
During this webinar, we will explore the current landscape of policy uncertainty and how to navigate it. Are we witnessing a fundamental shift in the political and economic world order, or is this just strategic posturing by Trump? We believe the reality lies somewhere in between — but for now, we’re in the eye of the storm, and things may get a little worse before they get better.
We’ll also discuss the shift of capital from U.S. equity markets to European and Chinese tech sectors, and how the flight to safety trade is driving yields lower.
