Navigating a multipolar world

from Fidelity Sound Bites · host Fidelity Australia

Geopolitics, policy and markets are colliding, but what does a multipolar world mean for portfolios, and why should investors be looking to true, multi‑dimensional diversification in this regime? In this episode, Salman Ahmed, Fidelity's Global Head of Macro and SAA joins Lukasz de Pourbaix to step back from the noise to frame the big forces: shifting power blocs, policy trade‑offs and changing market structures, translating them into a practical way of thinking about portfolio resilience. Expect a focus on reducing concentration risk, building durability across regimes, and using diversification to handle correlation shifts and macro surprises. Discover what to watch, how to weigh trade‑offs, and where diversification can do the heavy lifting -whether recession risk materialises or not. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Learn more about Fidelity's Global Macro Outlook for 2026.
