One of the persistent themes in the first half of 2026 has been international exposure. With potentially overstretched valuations in U.S mega-cap names and higher-for-longer inflation devaluing the U.S. dollar, more investors have been looking overseas for a greater opportunity set.

In a week when conflict in Iran sent the U.S. equity market into a tailspin, technology stocks tied to cybersecurity and artificial intelligence have proved more resilient than sectors investors have typically treated as safe havens.

2025 was a significant year for international investing. Many portfolios keep international exposure in a core sleeve.

One of the most persistent themes this year has been global defense. Historically, it has been an industry that tends to shine when geopolitics drives the macro narrative.

President Trump recently spent time in Asia. Many investors believe the purpose of his trip was to hammer out a trade deal with China.
