This week our investment and economic commentary focus on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the geopolitical tensions that are mounting. Both our Investment Office and our Chief Economist, Jeanette Garretty discuss how the invasion adds support for persistent inflation and potentially slower growth. They highlight the importance of energy self-reliance and the challenges of transitioning to renewables while the full impact of sanctions will take several weeks to be revealed and the effects on the global macroeconomic growth levels and microeconomic company level. Our Wealth Planning Center is also focusing on inflation and the impact on retirement.
