2026 Risks Investors NEED to Be Aware of

I want to ask you about potential risks that may be brewing for 2026. We got to talk about that investors and traders should be aware of. The escalation in China's military drills around Taiwan, along with the 2025 trend reversal in gold and Bitcoin, may suggest there is material geopolitical risk here.

Also, the global race to dominate AI, humanoid robots, and electric cars may not go as expected. Given the volatility we saw in 2025, investors are reminded to always be prepared for everything. Historical trends and correlations work until they don't.

And at ETFM, we favor having certain exposure to active management with strict risk controls. While active risk controls may not help in every situation or every individual year, they can still be priceless for your portfolio long-term.

Yes, I agree. And I call it having a margin of safety or a safety cushion, so crucial to the investment process, and certainly many investors miss that. But thank you for pointing it out.
