GUEST – Horacia Naidoo-McCarthy, a manager in the Institutional Clients team at Allan Gray
As US President Donald Trump announced steep tariffs earlier this month, global share markets sold off massively.

As with COVID-19, understandably, many investors reacted emotively and locked in permanent losses as a result.

Horacia Naidoo-McCarthy, a manager in the Institutional Clients team at Allan Gray, joins Kaya Biz to share some long-term lessons on navigating extreme volatility – based on what we have seen in the past.
