With the Trump administration’s moves on trade shaking up financial markets, we sit down with the experts to discuss this uncertainty’s impact on your clients.
In this timely episode of the Shares podcast, Michael Finke, PhD, CFP® speaks with Scott Lincicome, JD of the Cato Institute about the market uncertainty spurred by recent shifts in tariff policy, including the pros and cons of tariffs historically and their potential impacts on businesses, financial professionals, and consumers. They explore how tariffs may have unintended consequences for protected industries, as well as other important information advisors should know when talking with clients.
