Navigating the New Risk Paradigm

The shifting macroeconomic environment is only the latest chapter in a new volatility regime that began during the Global Financial Crisis.

During this webinar CFRA Research and Northern Trust FlexShares discussed the portfolio implications of the new volatility regime, focusing on the current market environment. In doing so, we will explore what increased volatility means for asset allocation and equity portfolio exposures and how to build a portfolio to help withstand these challenges.
