Recent history has demonstrated that geopolitical events can impact upon not only markets, but the everyday lives of your clients. A perfect storm of pandemic, war and political uncertainty have driven volatility, impacted market returns, and fuelled inflation in the past five years.
Given that these “unprecedented” events now seem to occur on an all too regular basis, what other risk factors should you now consider when constructing a diverse portfolio that may have been unthinkable only five years ago?
REGISTER HERE: JOIN US on 18 March 2025 at 12:30pm when EdenTree’s Matt Parlour will take a practical look at the current risks in the market and the resultant opportunities.
Matt will also be looking at what the impact of Trump 2.0 could be upon the world’s largest economy. Could 2025 perhaps see the end of the war in Ukraine, but the start of a trade war? What of relationships between the United States, and the UK … the EU… and China?
In the UK, “growth … is the number one priority”* but what are the prospects for the UK economy, and could clients face further tax increases? Can the new government “harness the full potential of AI for growth”* or will it end with “starmageddon”?
Finally, amid the seemingly endless news flow of economic gloom what opportunities exist to potentially add value for your clients?
This session will seek to provide practical insight to help you answer these questions.
Following this presentation you will be able to:
• Describe how geopolitical risks can potentially impact upon market volatility & returns
• Explain the outlook for inflation and economic growth
• Summarise what the potential implications are for different asset classes
* Speech by Sir Keir Starmer, 27th August 2024
Structured CPD is being sought for the event.
