There has been significant political activity under the new administration, but in the past two weeks, investor attention has shifted sharply to tariffs. From the start, it was clear that tariffs would be a key priority for President Trump, who has openly used them as a negotiating tool. Last week, tariffs were announced on Mexico and Canada, only to be swiftly delayed by 30 days for further negotiations. Meanwhile, tariffs on Chinese goods have been met with swift retaliation from China. In this video, we will look at the potential impact of tariffs on the economy and investment portfolios.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results for any investment. Private alternative investments are not for every client. An individual must be qualified to invest in a private investment based on their net worth and/or other criteria, and they may qualify to invest in some alternative investments while not being allowed to invest in other alternative investments. Alternative investments are not risk-free and there is no guarantee of achieving attractive performance compared to similar liquid investments. Risks associated with investments in private alternatives include the illiquid nature of such investments, risks associated with leveraged investments, manager-specific risks, sector-specific risks, and in certain cases geographical risk, as well as the risk of loss of principal.
