Navigating markets in a new policy landscape

This session offers a concise, forward-looking briefing on the forces shaping markets today. With global investors adjusting to a rapidly shifting political and economic backdrop, Grant and Chris will cut through the noise and focus on what matters for portfolios.

In this session, IBOSS will cover:

• Latest market trends: a snapshot of how markets have moved recently, what is driving investor sentiment, and which signals deserve your attention.
• Life after the midterms: What comes next for the US, how the political landscape could shape the investing environment, and what that means for the years ahead.
• Opportunities under a Trump-driven policy era: How tariffs, trade deals, regulation and shifting alliances are redrawing the investment map, and where the new openings and hidden risks are appearing.
• The classic 60/40 portfolio: Is it still fit for purpose? Plus, the alternatives worth considering in today's conditions.
