With new tariffs in place and market volatility on the rise, many people are asking: What does this mean for my portfolio and long-term plan?
In this timely conversation, Josh Whelan sat down with Russ Martin, Senior Portfolio Manager at City National Rochdale, to break down what’s driving today’s uncertainty — and how investors should respond. We cover:

What tariffs are doing to consumers, businesses, and the broader economy
-
What the Federal Reserve is likely to do with interest rates — and why it matters
-
The real risk of recession (and what’s more likely)
-
How investors should think about volatility vs. long-term risk
- How a well-structured financial plan can serve as a compass, guiding you through short-term market fluctuations with more confidence
We know this environment creates real anxiety — and it’s valid. But with a clear understanding of what’s happening and a well-built plan in place, you can navigate these uncertain times with confidence.
