In this episode, we dive into Trump’s proclaimed ‘Liberation Day,’ a bold move that slapped tariffs ranging from 10% to 90% on key imports—aimed at reshaping trade relationships, addressing imbalances, and bolstering domestic manufacturing. Joining us is special guest Jacob Keen, CFA, Henssler’s Director of Investments, who not only unpacks the potential market impact of these tariffs but also takes us inside Henssler’s portfolio strategy, explaining how diversification plays a crucial role in managing risk.

After the break, we continue the conversation, exploring the broader economic implications of these tariffs and what they could mean for businesses, investors, and consumers in the months ahead.

Join hosts Nick Antonucci, CVA, CEPA, Director of Research, and Managing Associates K.C. Smith, CFP®, CEPA, and D.J. Barker, CWS®, and Kelly-Lynne Scalice on Henssler Money Talks as they explore key financial strategies to help investors navigate market uncertainty.
