Summer webinar: Navigating the turbulent twenties

This article was written by Richard Champion and Thomas Becket, Co-Chief Investment Officers, and originally published by Canaccord Wealth. 

2025 has shaped up to be one of the most classic examples of the ‘turbulent twenties’ so far. In our latest webinar, Co-Chief Investment Officers, Tom Becket and Richard Champion explored what’s been driving market volatility, why client portfolios are still delivering positive returns, and what we can expect from the rest of the year.

They discussed:

• Persistent inflation and interest rate uncertainty
• Why economic discomfort often signals a bad time to move into cash
• The impact of global politics, including additional Trump tariffs
• Our outlook for equities, fixed interest, and what comes next.

While the headlines may feel dramatic, we remain focused on long-term, risk-adjusted returns and the opportunities that lie ahead.

Investment involves risk. The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up and you may not get back the amount originally invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

The tax treatment of all investments depends upon individual circumstances and the levels and basis of taxation may change in the future. Investors should discuss their financial arrangements with their own tax adviser before investing.
