Global share markets have been volatile following the imposition of tariffs by the US on its trading partners. While tariffs were expected, the market didn’t anticipate the magnitude and breadth of the tariffs announced last week. As a result, we’ve seen widespread sell-offs in markets. In this podcast, Chief Investment Officer John Pearce discusses the current market environment and how UniSuper’s Investments team is responding.
