Bonus Mailbag #46: What A Possible Recession Means For Your Portfolio With Gargi Pal Chaudhuri

If you’ve been following the financial news headlines, you know this year there’s been nothing but mixed signals coming from our economy: We saw a tightening in the credit market after the bank failures in March, and even though our labor market still remains robust with unemployment at 3.5%, household saving rates have fallen, and credit card debt just hit a new all-time high of $1 trillion dollars. Amid all of these complexities, we’ve heard the oft-repeated threats that “a recession is coming,” but the markets have had a great 2023 so far. Naturally, you have questions about your portfolio, and thankfully, we have answers. In this special Mailbag edition of the HerMoney Podcast, we’re joined by Gargi Pal Chaudhuri, Head of iShares Investment Strategy for the Americas. We discuss diversifying, investing in ETFs, and investing internationally. We also take a deep dive into all of the trends that Gargi and her team at iShares are on the lookout for in 2023- 2024.
