Tariffs, Turbulence, and Factor Fallout: Navigating Global Market Risk with Bloomberg’s MAC3 Models

In early April 2025, sweeping new U.S. tariff policies triggered a dramatic shift in global trade dynamics, sparking heightened volatility and sharp declines across global equity markets. As geopolitical tensions rise and retaliatory measures loom, understanding the ripple effects across style, industry, and country exposures has become mission-critical for institutional investors.

Join Bloomberg’s Tizian Otto as he analyzes the market impact of the new U.S. tariff regime using Bloomberg’s MAC3 Global and US Equity Risk Models. This webinar will explore the systemic shocks unleashed by “Liberation Day,” identify which equity factors suffered or outperformed, and demonstrate how advanced risk models provide critical transparency and actionable insights during periods of macro-driven uncertainty.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand how multi-factor risk models decompose market reactions to geopolitical shocks.
• Learn which style and industry exposures proved most sensitive to tariff risk—and why.
• See how a sharp policy pivot (the 90-day tariff suspension) produced a “whipsaw” effect in factor performance.
• Discover how Bloomberg’s MAC3 models can enhance portfolio risk diagnostics and inform strategic positioning.

Whether you're navigating sector rotation, adjusting geographic allocations, or managing volatility exposures, this session will equip you with tools to better assess and respond to macro-policy risk.
