Tariffs, Trade, and Turbulence: Navigating Market Volatility – Part 2
In this episode of Bare With Us, we dive into the recent market volatility sparked by the U.S. government’s reintroduction of tariffs. For nearly 40 years, tariffs haven’t played a major role in economic policy—but that’s changing, and so is the way we think and feel about the U.S.–Canada trade relationship.
Join Mike Robinson, Scott Richardson, and Finn McKay as we explore what tariffs are, why they’re back in the spotlight, and how they’re influencing investor sentiment. From there, we examine the issue from two key perspectives: how a Portfolio Manager interprets and responds to volatility, and how financial planners assess whether these changes warrant adjustments to financial plans or asset allocations.
This unstructured, thoughtful conversation goes beyond the headlines to help you understand what’s really happening—and what it might mean for your investments and long-term strategy.
