Joachim Klement: Geopolitics, Inflation, and Portfolio Strategy

Joachim Klement joins Mike Wallberg, CFA, to break down the investment implications of today's geopolitical environment. From energy market disruptions to shifting trade dynamics, Klement explains how global events feed through to inflation, interest rates, and asset valuations. The conversation also explores how investors can separate noise from signal, rethink international diversification, and incorporate assets such as commodities to better manage geopolitical risk. With markets increasingly shaped by policy and global tensions, Klement offers a practical lens for portfolio construction.
