• Traditional portfolio diversification strategies (stock-bond correlation) are becoming less reliable as both equities and bonds may decline simultaneously in this new environment.
• Investors should consider assets that benefit from inflation variability, such as real assets, and focus on understanding fiscal dynamics and geopolitical alignments.
