The Investor's Guide to Geopolitical Ana...

Michael A. Gayed, CFA
About this episode

Navigate the intricate web of global markets with me, Michael Gahyit, and my esteemed guest Jacob Shapiro from Cognitive Investments, as we dissect the oft-underestimated role of geopolitical risk in investment strategies. With Jacob's deep expertise in geopolitical futures, we unravel how international events and power plays can dramatically affect your portfolio. From the overlooked warnings in Russian equities to the miscalculations surrounding Europe's natural gas debacle, our discussion serves as a masterclass in marrying geopolitical acumen with financial foresight. 

Embark on a journey through the nuances of China's internal politics and the dance of de-globalization, where Western perceptions clash with Eastern realities. As we dissect America's changing view on China's economic threat, learn how this Great Power's internal struggles and global PR maneuvers could reshape your investment landscape. We'll also shed light on the subtle yet powerful shifts towards regional power balances and the quest for technological sovereignty, underscoring why understanding these trends is crucial for anyone aiming to thrive in an era where economic interdependencies are being redefined.

Finally, broaden your horizons as we look beyond the usual suspects to the emerging markets ripe with potential, like Brazil, Indonesia, and Turkey, and consider how geopolitical analysis is indispensable in constructing resilient investment portfolios. From the semiconductor industry and energy transition to the biotech sector, Jacob and I dissect the sectors where innovation and geopolitics collide, revealing the risks and opportunities that could define the future of investing. Don't miss this insightful exploration of global investment strategies, where each revelation could be the key to unlocking your next big opportunity.
