With the Trump administration now in full swing, pre-election promises of tariffs, trade wars, and protections have come to fruition.

Our Quilter Cheviot experts, Ben Barringer (Executive Director – Equity Research Analyst) and Richard Carter (Head of Fixed Interest Research), along with special guest Adam Smith (Former Chief of Staff to the Chancellor of the Exchequer), will discuss the political implications, market volatility, currency fluctuations, and ongoing investor sentiment as we navigate this period of uncertainty.
