So what is a tariff? Tariffs are taxes imposed by a country on imports from another, a varying percentage of the value of that import. In the U.S. the tariffs are paid by the importer to the U.S. Treasury, collected by the Customs and Border Protection agents. As far back as November, then president-elect Trump hinted at the possibility of imposing tariffs and now in early March the tariffs have been implemented. Today we have comments from five Fidelity experts to unpack how they are staying informed and level-headed, while aiming to protect investors hard-earned savings. This was initially presented as an episode of The Upside, our investor webcast.

Recorded on March 3 - 6, 2025.
