In fact, you may be wondering if there are some investments to consider now to help tariff-proof your portfolio. GOBankingRates talked to financial experts for advice about potential options to diversify your investments and potentially lower impacts of new tariffs.”
Marguerita says: Focus on International Stocks
Because we can’t predict the long-term impact of tariffs, it is important not to engage in panic selling, according to Marguerita Cheng, a certified financial planner (CFP) and CEO of Blue Ocean Global Wealth. Diversification can help mitigate volatility in your portfolio.
“While international stocks have underperformed over the past several years, they have enjoyed some positive performance year-to-date,” Cheng said. “The percentage that investors should consider allocating to international stocks depends on their time horizon, risk tolerance, and investment objectives. Investing in ETFs is a straightforward, cost-effective way to gain exposure to international stocks.”
