Even before the recent failure of Silicon Valley Bank, markets have been overshadowed by economic and policy uncertainty, causing volatility and pressuring returns in both equities and fixed income. As earnings decline, the economy slows, inflation remains elevated, and the Fed continues its aggressive tightening cycle, building a resilient portfolio has become more important than ever.
