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.

Market Cycle
Understanding the market cycle
Keep calm in volatile markets: Cycle of market emotions
The key to successful investing is to buy low and sell high. But more often than not, investors do the exact opposite. The reason? Investors are human. For example, many panic and cash out when markets fall. Ironically, at these times, these investors fail to recognise they are actually at the point of maximum financial opportunity.
Value of Global Diversification
There are several potential benefits of a diversified investment portfolio, and one of the most important is to reduce concentration risk. This tool shows how different asset classes have performed erratically year to year, demonstrating the benefits of a well-diversified, multi asset approach.

Although the markets might return a loss in difficult years, this brochure shows the returns a client could have experienced had they stayed invested. Using weighted averages, it also demonstrates the difference in volatility and returns between lower risk and higher risk strategies.
