SELECTOR HARD TALK: The Davos Series

Geopolitics & the Post-War Order: Shifting Sands: Investing in a World Beyond the US-Led Order

"The era of a pleasant fiction has ended, and a brutal reality has begun."…..."If we’re not at the table, we’re on the menu". Mark Carney, Prime Minister Canada.

At Davos 2026, speakers described the world as undergoing a fundamental rupture from the post-war order. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney warned of a breakdown in the US-centric rules-based system, arguing that middle powers must step up and develop alternative frameworks to preserve stability.

At the same time, markets are beginning to reflect structural shifts:

  • Rising US fiscal deficits
  • Trade and industrial policy uncertainty
  • Central bank diversification into non-dollar reserve assets
  • Growing calls for strategic autonomy in Europe and parts of Asia.

Diversification away from US assets is increasingly viewed not as a cyclical rotation, but as a potential structural trend driven by fiscal dynamics, geopolitical realignment, and reserve management decisions.

So in an age that is anything but stable… 

- Is the shift from the US-led order a structural repricing risk or just political noise?
- How are managers embedding geopolitics and defence into portfolios, and how do we verify it's not just
marketing?
- Which regions and sectors are winning in your capital reallocation?
- How do you balance growth exposure with the need for defensive resilience?

Luis Barata Corrêa from Novobanco, and Luis Sancho from BBVA will share their views and real experiences bringing our audience precious food for thought and best practices to implement in this fast-paced environment.
