What if the World Is Not Ending?

About this session

The world has not faced as many geopolitical crises and paradigm shifts at the same time since the fall of the Soviet Union. However, investors are spending too much time on crises that are either not investment-relevant or that are overstated. And too little on the sources of real risk. The war in Ukraine and the European energy crises are overstated risks. What happens to Russia after the war and the emergence of a Machiavellian America are the real risks.
