Global headlines are shifting fast. With airstrikes across Iran and rising tensions in the Middle East, it's understandable to have concerns about energy supply, market volatility, and the broader economic outlook.
At CIO, we advise that you stay invested, diversify your portfolio, and think long term.
Our base case is that any disruption to the global supply of energy will be brief. While we expect markets to remain volatile in the coming weeks, we believe they will soon refocus on positive global economic fundamentals, just as they have after most geopolitical shocks in recent history.
We believe that investors should maintain a long-term focus, stay invested in broad equity indices, and use periods of volatility to build more diversified portfolios including across Transformational Innovation Opportunities (TRIOs): AI, Power and resources, and Longevity.
