About this listen

 We can’t predict how geopolitical events unfold, but how do investors adapt to market stress and maintain portfolios that remain robust regardless of the headlines?
L&G’s Chris Jeffery, Co-Head of Asset Allocation and Head of Macro; Aimee Bowkett, Fund Manager; and Chris Teschmacher, Fund Manager and Head of AA Investments Specialists discuss:
  • Why uncertainty feels so acute and why the data tell a different story
  • How ‘reckless prudence’ means being too cautious could be a genuine risk
  • Regret, diversification and the cost of being prepared
For more insight into the team’s prepare don’t predict philosophy, read their playbook for geopolitical risk management and why uncertainty isn’t the enemy. Please see the links below.
