Wealth DFM Talk Podcast #9: Staying grounded amid global uncertainty, with Nedgroup Investments’ Rob Burdett

In this month’s episode of Wealth DFM Talk, we unpack how global tensions are shaping the investment landscape in real time. Joining us to do this is Rob Burdett, Head of Multi-Manager Solutions at Nedgroup Investments.

With geopolitical risks rising and markets reacting, it’s easy for investors to feel pulled between caution and opportunity. Together, we explore what history tells us about navigating uncertainty and whether those lessons still hold in today’s environment.

Rob also reveals how to stay grounded in long-term strategy while acknowledging the pressures of short-term volatility. And with growing concerns around inflation and the possibility of stagflation, Rob outlines what it really means to protect returns right now.
