<h2>Vinny Amaru:</h2>
<p>It's been just over 30 days since President Trump began his second term, and it's been quite a whirlwind. He's signed more executive orders in this short time than any previous president over a similar timeframe.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>A line graph appears with the heading: 'Cumulative number of executive orders signed (since 1937).' The vertical axis ranges from zero to 120 executive orders while the horizontal axis ranges from zero to 100 Days in Office. A red line labeled 'Trump 2nd' climbs sharply, ending at 65 less than 30 days in. A teal line labeled 'Roosevelt 3rd' reaches that amount at about 50 days in office, then continues to climb to near 100 after 100 days in office. Biden's navy-blue line levels out around 40. Several more unlabeled lines remain under 20 through 100 days in office.</p>

<h2>Vinny Amaru:</h2>
<p>Let's take a look at some of the major themes emerging in the early days of the Trump administration.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>A question appears over gray:</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>What are the latest developments regarding tariffs?</p>
<h2>Vinny Amaru:</h2>
<p>The U.S. has imposed a 10% additional tariff on imports from China.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>A circle chart with inward-pointing arrows appears under the heading 'U.S. Tariffs.' A section fills in, labeled: '10% Imports from China.'</p>
<h2>Vinny Amaru:</h2>
<p>In response, China has retaliated with a 15% tariff on around $5 billion dollars of its U.S. energy imports and a 10% tariff on U.S. agricultural and oil equipment.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>Two more charts appear under the heading 'China Tariffs.' One with a lightning bolt reads:</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>15%</p>
<p>U.S. energy imports</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>While one with a tractor reads:</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>10%</p>
<p>U.S. agriculture and oil equipment</p>
<h2>Vinny Amaru:</h2>
<p>President Trump has announced a 25% tariff on imports of steel and aluminum, a reciprocal tariff to be implemented in April as well as additional tariffs on pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, and automobiles.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>A list appears, titled:</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>Additional U.S. Tariffs</p>
<ul>
<li>25% on imports of steel and aluminum</li>
<li>Reciprocal tariff to be implemented in April</li>
<li>Pharmaceuticals</li>
<li>Semiconductors</li>
<li>Automobiles</li>
</ul>
<h2>Vinny Amaru:</h2>
<p>The administration has also delayed a 25% tariff on most imports from Canada and Mexico until early March. In terms of the economic impact, we expect tariffs to slightly boost inflation, both this year and next, and have a more limited impact on U.S. economic growth. But with more tariffs and potential retaliation on the way, trade uncertainty is expected to remain high, and while global equity markets have mostly looked through the headlines, we see tariffs as an important risk to our otherwise positive U.S. equity market view.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>Another question appears over gray:</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>What is the economic impact of current immigration policies?</p>
<h2>Vinny Amaru:</h2>
<p>The administration is focused on reducing legal immigration and enforcing stricter measures on undocumented workers. While these actions are unlikely to immediately disrupt the labor market balance, we'll be looking for any disruptions, especially in sectors like construction and agriculture.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>A question over gray reads:</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>How did the Trump administration approach government efficiency and deregulation?</p>
<h2>Vinny Amaru:</h2>
<p>From creating a department dedicated to increasing efficiency to lifting restrictions on drilling in Alaska, the new administration is looking to shift the way that government and private businesses interact. So far, business optimism has risen due to the possibility of easier regulations that could boost deal-making. Needless to say, there's certainly a lot going on, and for investors, heightened uncertainty is a good reminder to re-examine existing portfolio allocations.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>A circle graph appears, titled: 'Well-diversified portfolio.' An arrow labeled 'Public Equities' appears on one side, with the circle broken into three sections:</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>UNITED STATES</p>
<p>ASIA PACIFIC</p>
<p>EUROPE</p>
<h2>Vinny Amaru:</h2>
<p>A well-diversified portfolio, incorporating a geographic mix of equities, can help capture returns during periods of strong economic growth.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>Another arrow appears, labeled 'Bonds.' Three more sections appear in the circle chart, labeled:</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>CORPORATE</p>
<p>MUNICIPAL</p>
<p>GOVERNMENT</p>

<h2>Vinny Amaru:</h2>
<p>Meanwhile, bonds can play a vital role in providing a steady stream of income and serving as a safeguard against potential growth slowdowns. This balanced approach can enhance resilience during market volatility, helping to keep your investments aligned with your long-term financial objectives.</p>
<h2>On screen:</h2>
<p>A list with three bullet points appears under a heading:</p>

<p>Key Takeaways</p>
<ul>

<li>We expect continued uncertainty in the coming months, especially on trade policy.</li>
<li>Building resilient portfolios is essential for navigating potential market volatility.</li>
