About this episode

This episode discusses market volatility, defensive portfolio strategies, and future investment opportunities amid recent market developments.

The first quarter of 2025 saw global stocks hit new highs, then pull back, as investor sentiment shifted in an uncertain environment. In this podcast, we discuss the factors affecting performance, how we've positioned portfolios more defensively over the last year, and where we believe the best opportunities may lie in future. While we also address the recent market developments sparked by President Trump's 'Liberation Day' tariffs and our thoughts on what they mean for our portfolios, please note this podcast was recorded on 9 April before the announcement of a pause in tariff increases.
