  • The Wealth Effect Reversal: How To Protect Your Portfolio From The Top 10%'s Spending Slowdown

    The top 10% have been doing a lot of heavy lifting lately. 

    While most people pulled back on spending, they kept splurging—on luxe travel, home upgrades, and $500 sneakers. That’s been good news for certain companies. And, by extension, for investors.

    But now? That support’s starting to look shaky.

    In this episode, Stéphane Renevier joins the studio us to explain why a slowdown at the top could be a big deal for markets—and what to do about it. 

    He’s built a portfolio for exactly this kind of shift: one that goes long the practical stuff and short the fragile, confidence-driven spending. If the wealth effect really is reversing, this might be the trade you want to make.
