The fall of the Berlin Wall marked the beginning of a major shift towards globalization. In the years since, we have seen increased interdependence between the world’s economies, increases in trade between nations, and a growing number of corporations operating on a global scale.

What does that mean for U.S. capital markets and your portfolio?
On Wednesday, August 10, we held a webinar to discuss these big-picture items with Anu Gaggar, CFA, FRM, Vice President & Capital Markets Strategist at Fidelity Investments. Anu and Gerald shared their insights into:
