Investors face a challenging dilemma. While geopolitical strife calls for rethinking risk management, shocks may appear too frequent, and too great in number, to effectively mitigate their impact. Some investors feel the best course of action is to focus on trends that are more predictable or quantifiable—and deal with geopolitical surprises when they transpire.
With the right strategies, investors can construct portfolios with the goal of remaining resilient and capturing emerging opportunities in a new era of geopolitical uncertainty.
