About This Group of Stocks
Our Expert Thinking
Geopolitical tensions often create specific investment opportunities in sectors that benefit from increased government spending and supply disruptions. This carefully curated group focuses on defense contractors and energy companies positioned outside conflict zones, which historically perform well during periods of global uncertainty and rising oil prices.
What You Need to Know

These stocks tend to be more volatile during geopolitical events but may benefit from increased defense budgets and higher energy prices driven by supply concerns.
