The Fiduciary Investors Symposium December 2020 global digital program specifically looked at the fallout of the US election, the impact on markets and the long-term effects of geopolitical risk.
This program addressed the pertinent issues for investors in navigating a fundamentally changed US, what it means for international trade, the future of globalisation and the growth of the economy. It also looked at the impact of 2020 on the medium and long-term outlook. Has the volatility and disruption of this year de-stabilised long-term trends and what is the impact for markets?
As the instability around the global health and economic pandemic continues, reliability and trust become even more important. This online interactive conference brought together experts in politics, the economy and international relations to share ideas on the future of the world, and the related risks and opportunities in investments.
It was rich in content and provided a range of experiences.
