Investment Strategists on 2026 Tariffs-Trade Impact for Forbes

I seek deep understanding that I can then translate (if necessary) for a general audience. The question is how tariffs and trade policies might affect investments in 2026, but built on a foundation of how tariffs generally work, what changed in 2025 and how it’s reflected in 2026, impacts of tariffs on corporate earnings, market volatility, how different sectors feel an impact, what risks portfolios might face, and how to position a portfolio for a high-tariff environment. I’m searching for thoughtful observations and reasonably actionable advice. I will likely want to do interviews, though would like to see a few brief bullets on what someone might say, so I can sort through potential views. This is for Forbes online. Deadline is 5pm ET Tuesday, Feb. 17 (unless I get what I need before hand). Please reply to [email redacted].
