Why advice matters: navigating through the markets
In our April 2025 Wealth Insights webinar, we look at how to navigate short-term market disruptions and discuss investment scenarios in an era of unpredictable U.S. economic and trade policy.
The early months of 2025 have been characterized by significant uncertainty in trade, economic growth prospects, and geopolitical risks. Despite these challenges, financial markets have shown impressive resilience, underpinned by strong fundamentals.
But with international trade dynamics still uncertain and data indicating a slowing economy, gaining a clear understanding of evolving market forces for the rest of the year can be challenging for investors.
In the video, Manulife Investment Management’s Head of Asset Allocation for Canada Jamie Robertson provides an update on the current economic landscape and state of financial markets, and Senior Portfolio Manager Patrick Blais shares his thoughts on Canada’s equity market and the impact of trade tensions on investment strategy.
Topics covered include:
- Five key macroeconomic themes for 2025, including the uncertainty factor of U.S. tariffs
- Viewing market corrections in a long-term context, and why times of fear are often a good time to buy
- The importance of diversification and seeking sound advice in the current market
