Like any investment, share market investing has a risk and reward-relationship. Because of that, it’s always important to be very aware of the different types of risks at play when investing in the ASX.

In an increasingly volatile trading environment, well-known independent economist Saul Eslake says risk must be understood and not underestimated by investors.

As the ripples of Trump’s economic policies reverberate around the world, HotCopper invited Saul Eslake to share his takeout on the current issues and how investors may insulate themselves in uncertain times.

In the above interview, Eslake talks about the crucial factors causing the recent correction and ongoing certainty on the ASX.

He also speaks to the close relationship between the volatility of share markets and higher returns when compared to safer assets such as cash.

Eslake also gives his view of U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariff regime.
