Let's dive right in and explore the fascinating world of how some of the biggest investment firms operate.

They don’t just wait for the chaos; they anticipate it and prepare for it, ensuring that they are ahead of the curve. BlackRock has developed an impressive framework known as the Geopolitical Risk Framework.

Interestingly, while markets typically react modestly and quickly to sudden geopolitical shocks, the fallout can be much worse during times of economic slump.
