This episode serves as a year-end analysis, providing insights into how investors can navigate the uncertainties ahead.
As markets reacted positively to Donald Trump’s presidential win, with both equity futures and the US dollar rising significantly, questions arise about the sustainability of these trends.
Joined again by Sean Neethling, head of investments at Morningstar South Africa, we delve into asset allocation strategies in a changing political landscape, identifying sectors that may benefit from ‘Trumponomics’ while also considering potential risks. We also highlight the importance of understanding trade policies and their impact on international relations, particularly with China, as well as the implications for South Africa amid its own political challenges.
Listen to the conversation below to find out how these developments influence investment decisions and portfolio construction.
