Tariff Tracker
A guide to market volatility stemming from recent trade policy uncertainty
When markets do the unexpected, it can test the nerves of even the savviest investor. And negative headlines in a 24-hour news cycle can make it difficult to filter the noise.
While catalysts change over time, it’s important to remember that volatility is a recurring risk. The steep correction we’ve seen during the last few weeks due to tariffs and trade policy uncertainty is a sobering reminder that markets can swing wildly in short periods of time.
At Russell Investments, we’ve got you covered. Our experts stand at the ready to distill complexity and provide clarity on the portfolio implications of recent market turbulence.
Investing in volatile times
Important truths to remember about market volatility
At Russell Investments, we help investors manage downside risk in three ways: by diversifying sources of returns, by using a robust dynamic asset allocation process to guide tactical positioning, and by seeking effective implementation capabilities. We have been anticipating a low-return, high-volatility environment for the last 2-3 years. Accordingly, we have been dynamically adjusting our portfolio positioning to manage downside risk.
Why downside protection may matter more than upside growth
In today's uncertain environment, preserving capital may be more important than chasing growth.
Managing risk biases
We find that it is increasingly important for asset owners to have tools to take control of risk and exposures in their total portfolio. Learn three ways that completion portfolios can improve risk-adjusted outcomes.
Behavioural bias: What, why and how to avoid it
We take a look at behavioural bias, how to avoid it and the detrimental impact it can have on investor portfolios. What drives investors?
What is risk management?
When it comes to investing, risk management is the active mitigation of uncertainty that surrounds all investment opportunities. Investing is inherently risky. At Russell Investments, we do not seek to avoid risk, but rather work to ensure that the right risks are taken, with the highest likelihood of compensation. We work to ensure exposure to uncompensated risk is minimised.
