Episode 332: Trading Beyond Borders - What Tariffs Mean for Smart Investors

This Think Smart with TMFG episode, hosted by Mike Connon and Carlo Cansino, Financial Advisors at The McClelland Financial Group of Assante Capital Management, explores how rising tariffs and trade tensions are reshaping Canada’s economy and global markets.

Key Takeaways:

• Canada sends 75% of its exports to the U.S., making it vulnerable to trade disruptions.

• Emerging markets, such as China and India, are becoming major economic players and presenting new opportunities for investors.

• A balanced portfolio with a home bias helps reduce currency risk and stay tax-efficient.

This episode highlights why TMFG encourages diversification in both trade and investing to remain resilient in a changing global economy.
