Will the delicate Iran ceasefire hold? When geopolitical tensions dominate the headlines, it’s hard not to wonder what it means for the future you’ve been planning. In this special episode, host Michael Liersch is joined by Edelman Financial Engines Chief Investment Officer Neil Gilfedder to help make sense of what’s happening and how it connects to the bigger picture. Together, they explore how markets have historically responded to geopolitical crises, why trying to predict the next move rarely works and what actually is within an investor’s control during volatile times. Because while you can’t influence global events, you’re in charge of your plan and how you respond when uncertainty shows up.
