Managing through market volatility

We're here to help investors navigate through market volatility and focus on the long term.

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

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.
