Listen "Trade Wars and Tariffs: What They Mean for Your Portfolio"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, we discuss the current financial market turmoil caused by Trump Administration.Since the end of March, markets around the world have been in free fall, and the S&P 500 is in a correction by many measures. The reason for the sudden crash is the introduction of substantial tariffs on essentially all imports into the US. Why is the US changing the way the world trades? Is there a good faith argument for this given the turmoil it's caused? As with any complex issue, the answer is unclear, but we cover the rationale behind tariffs and their potential benefits for U.S. trade relations and Canada's internal trade improvements. We also discuss what we are doing to manage client portfolios during these challenging times. No one likes to see their portfolio balances go down, it's difficult, but the most important thing is not to panic. Markets cannot go up forever and corrections are inevitable. A dip in the market provides an opportunity for strategic rebalancing, structuring your portfolio for solid growth in the eventual recovery.If you have questions, topic ideas or want to discuss your own investments please reach out, we'd love to hear from [email protected][00:00:00] Market Turmoil Overview Discussion on the current turmoil in the market due to trade wars and tariffs.[00:01:31] Impact on Client AccountsOverview of how accounts are being managed during market fluctuations.[00:02:10]Understanding Tariff ImplicationsAnalysis of trade imbalances and the potential long-term effects of tariffs.[ 00:03:23] Opportunities for Canada Discussion on how tariffs could benefit Canada's interprovincial trade.[00:04:05] Human Ingenuity in Markets Emphasis on human creativity in overcoming market challenges.[00:05:05] Strategic Rebalancing and Deploying CapitalExplanation of the strategy to rebalance client accounts amidst market changes.[00:06:14] Investment Strategies Overview Description of three investment strategies: Momentum, Value (Enhanced Index), and Dividend.
