Adapting to a New Tapestry of Geopolitical Risks

From enduring a major equity selloff to wrestling with the implications of the latest trade-war salvo, 2025 has been a challenge so far. In many ways, it’s been a case study on the need to adapt to the latest flash points from interconnected risks—including geopolitical developments and changing policy regimes.

In this edition of AB IQ, we look deeper into how the tapestry of risk has changed, influenced by macro mega forces and amplified by recent policy changes. We also zoom in to look at the implications of raising the trade drawbridge. And we explore a “mosaic” approach to managing diverse and dynamic risks.

We hope you enjoy the collection of topics in this quarter’s edition and find them useful on your journey through an unsettled year.
