How Global Shifts Like Tariffs and Deglobalisation Impact Your Money and Investments

This video was recorded in 2025, but it remains highly relevant today.

In managing over S$1 billion worth of our clients’ assets, there is continuous monitoring in place to ensure that the funds in our portfolios are behaving as we would expect them to.

To share deeper insights into how we manage investments beyond the basics, we’re pleased to launch a “Investment 201” video series featuring Dr Peng Chen, Senior Advisor & Director at Providend. In this series, Isaac Ong, our Client Adviser, engages Dr Peng in conversations on more advanced investment topics, while still breaking them down into simple, practical insights for everyday investors.

In this episode, Dr Peng and Isaac discuss how tariffs and deglobalisation affect us as consumers, employees and investors. They also touch on national defence, the US dollar and market volatility, all with the aim of helping you understand how global developments may ripple through to your personal wealth goals, and what steps you can take next.

This video series is now available as a podcast for those who prefer listening on the go:
